I'm interested in acquiring a Genesis Loco to run under TMCC. Has Lionel or someone else produced one recently?

Buy an MTH PS1 model and convert it.
No one has ever made one with factory TMCC
You can also get a Williams Genesis and add TMCC.
I found an MTH Premier Genesis NIB at York a couple years back for $135. I upgraded it to TMCC, and sold the PS/1 board set for $40 as well. For less than $100 I got a really nice Genesis with smoke to upgrade.
MTH's Genesis are very nice, and as John stated above, go with a PS1 version then convert to TMCC. Be aware the Williams Genesis units are somewhat shorter in length as well vs the MTH unit.
Thanks guys, great input. I have the Williams Genesis pair, great runners for open house situations, but of course I have to set a loop on traditional running. Yah, the Williams units are a little short, and a bit lacking in detail by modern standards.
An MTH unit may be the way to go; I'm just a bit reluctant to buy a loco simply to convert it, but I'll watch for one. Thanks again for the help... This site collectively knows everything!
