Hi,
I currently have the Lionel CSX Intermodal LionChief set. I'm strongly considering buying the CSX LionChief Plus SD60M. It seems like a great way to get a scale engine without fully investing in the Legacy system.
However, the different scales have me a bit confused. I believe the Intermodal set is "traditional" scale. The LionChief Plus SD60M is "scale". I've also seen the term "standard". What I would like to know is:
1. Will the rolling stock that comes with the CSX Intermodal set look okay with the CSX LionChief Plus SD60M? I understand that this is a somewhat subjective question.
2. Will the rolling stock tha comes with the ready to run set work with the electro couplers on the LionChief Plus SD60M? Or does a "scale" engine mean that it has scale couplers? I haven't been able to find a clear answer to this question.
It's hard to get a clear undestanding of what works together and looks good together with the usage of the various scale terms. I haven't found a source that clearly compares "scale", "standard", and "traditional".
Thank you,
Mike
