We've acquired our first JLC steamer yesterday and am curious about the history of them. We had a Tuscan 5 stripe JLC GG1 for awhile and it was an extremely nice model.

What were the locomotives in this series and were the G's the only non-steam models?

Was thinking of the original Big Boy from 1999 that wasn't a JLC Series Loco.

 

Here is the list I came up with so far, guess the 2006 Big Boys need to be added to it.

I did a quick search on Lionel and of the 14 listed by Ed H 9 are RS5 including all the GG1s.

The Lionel site says the Allegheny was in the 2007 Vol 2 catalog. Notice the list above says "2005 Vol 2". Maybe 'delivered' in 2007?

 

I gather that there was an earlier version (1999?) that was reported to be a somewhat poor runner from what I read.

 

What was the street price on these please?

They are kinda poor running compared to the Legacy locos coming out of Lionel today, but still better than the Pullmor engines overall and still decent. The sounds are still really nice.

 

Normally I see the 1999 6-28011's go for between $500 to $850 online, but you're likely going to see sellers ask for more in person at shows.

Ahh, that's what you meant!

 

I don't see the JLC Alleghenies on sale often, mainly because I guess their owners really want to keep them! I'm going to guess the value on them is between $800 and $1100.
