A LHS has an acquired LCCA Santa Fe 208 that they're re-selling.
Does anyone know the motor that was put in these?

These came with TMCC and Magnetraction.

AC or DC?
These units have the integrated motor/truck design. The truck is built up from steel sheet plates that are stamped together. This motor is common to MPC geeps. See picture below. The unit has magnetraction (you can see the axle) and TMCC. It is true to, but improved upon, the postwar units.

Grab it if you can. It is a rare engine, it runs well, has TMCC, and a great sounding horn and bell.
I'm heading back tonight. I have an original 208 AA in decent shape as well as the Legacy Cat Whiskers.
Love the old Santa Fe freight paint scheme.

Steve, are you a member of LCCA? If not, I recommend joining. Lots of benefits and great one of a kind Lionel engines and cars produced just for LCCA. They also have a mailing (I believe quarterly) with pages and pages of trains for sale by members. I have seen the Santa Fe engine listed frequently in this mailing. Hope this helps.

Currently I'm not, though if more childhood favorites of my dad (which have been passed down to me) are released I likely will.
When was the last mailing with the classifieds? I'd love to have one of these by next Christmas if possible.
