All of mine are MTH Premier. The last 5 are nonpowered.

Lackawanna
Interstate
Original Norfolk Southern
Pennsylvania
Lehigh Valley
Central of Georgia
Norfolk & Western
Nickel Plate Road
Conrail

Monongahela

I remembered I do have one Lionel, Norfolk & Western, which is non-powered.  I had pre-ordered it before MTH made the announcement that they would also be offering non-powered versions.

Well I ended up only purchasing the Lionel NKP.

 

I can run it with my Lionel 765.

 

Now I originally intended to get all 20.  But MTH, Mike Wolf, decided not to tool for the phase of the GE ES44's as used for the NS Heritage units.  I was going to buy 10-powered and 10 non-powered.  One thing about the MTH non-powered in fact were numbered correctly whereas the Lionel non-powered had fictitious numbering.  But again the ES44's were not modeled correct.  So thought I would at least get the MTH "Savannah & Atlanta" to run with my NS OCS.  But MTH could NOT get the paint correct.

 

OH, a down side of the Lionel units, no long hood ditch-lights!

 

So bottom line MTH did save me a whole lot of money!  So some of the saving went for two Lionel High-Nose GP30's.

RogerW,

 

    I have three all Lionel Legacy all SD70Ace. Two are pre NS actual heritage engines, both are PRR one Dark Green the other Tuscan. One is the Virginian which was the first heritage engine I saw in person and fell in love with. I use all three to pull my intermodal train which is the only modern train I run at the club. The rest of my trains are all steam/early diesel all PRR.

Insofar I only have Lionel Heritage Units, but I've actively been looking for MTH also, since I cannot find the two roads I have been looking to add to my roster.  I'd like all 20, but I don't have the funds to pull off such a purchase.  I've thought about buying them in HO if I can find em all, with the correct Road Numbers and also building an HO Model of the Spencer Roundhouse, since HO is considerably cheaper than O Scale. :-)

 

Current NS Heritage Locos:

 

8099 Southern

8100 NKP

8102 PRR

8103 N&W

 

Been on the prowl since release for:

 

8098 Conrail

8101 Central of Georgia
