Looking for info on the above Santa Fe F3's, can anyone tell me if these have the Odyssey system of not? Not sure when that feature made it's debut.
Thanks, Jeff

Yes, they have odyssey
Thanks guys, I remember the separate flyer advertising the Santa Fe's & NYC but could not find mine. I am looking at a set of the Santa Fe's #14536 Cab #16 & the Santa Fe's #24529 Cab #18 which I believe was the second run. Trying to decide which one to buy?

I have a set of the 16’s, i like them, no issues here.
They are both RailSounds 4.0. There may have been some talk here about the number board bulbs being bright on the #16's and shining thru the nose paint.
I have the #19. Had to replace the tach motor in the A unit. Thanks to Frank Timko (who rebuilt the defective motor from parts I ordered from Lionel) and to Gunrunnerjohn (who published the info needed to order the E6 dummy couplers for close coupling), I now have a great-looking and fine-running ABBA set.
BTW, thicker plastic used in this model. So no light bleed-through from the cab.

Buy the 18s. Some reported the bulbs on the number boards were too bright and melted the boards, the lights in the cab were too bright, and maybe a couple other things I don't remember. The problems on the earlier 16 edition were taken care of on the later 18 version.
