Charles Ro recently had an H16-44 for sale at a great price, but I waited too long to decide and it's gone.  I didn't see any posts here for this engine model (although MTH seems to have one). But if someone has Lionel's interpretation, I'd be interested in knowing if you are happy with it and if the antenna is detachable.  It would fit in well with my modeling era and planned freight "operations" but I'm not sure I have the room and a good case now to pay a bit more to add one.  So, any info is much appreciated.  I am looking for conventional, not Legacy, to keep life on the carpet layout simple. 

Thanks,

Tomlinson Run Railroad

PRRHORSESHOECURVE, it is entirely possible that in my haste I misread the MTH posts. (I'm supposed to be hard at work from home in a snow storm and was posting on my break.). I love the New Haven livery on the first engine that you posted.  Thanks for posting the pix.

Here's Walther's page: https://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/434-638446 as you can see, it has antenae - at least I asume that's what I'm looking at.

Back to work!

May be wrong, but I don't recall that they ever made this engine in conventional.

There are a number of new ones shown in the latest Lionel 2016 catalog.

 

Breezinup, thanks for mentioning the 2016 catalog. I hadn't read that far last time I looked.  They are built to orders and beyond this short line's budget. The reissue would explain why the one I missed out on was so cheap.  The older ones do seem to have been issued in conventional as per the Walthers link I provided earlier. ('Way up at the top.)

Glad to read/hear from a prior poster that the sound is good. I like the look, too.

Thanks for the input, Don, Chris, and Peter.  Peter, in your video, the engine looks good pulling passenger cars, too. Part of my dilemna is: do I pick up another freight engine to fill a gap decade or two between steam and my NS SD70ACe or get an engine that also pulled passenger cars to try and bring a tiny bit of reality to the carpet empire.  Switchers are so much fun 'though.
