Lionel Legacy Lionmaster T1 Duplex

I have the Legacy version, 6-11207.  I had one issue which I finally took the bull by the horns and corrected.  One of the forward facing rollers would drop into certain Atlas switches and derail the locomotive.  I finally took that roller off, leaving the remaining two rollers.  Since I was sacrificing some running reliability losing the one roller, I used a one-wire tether to the tender to share those rollers for power.  The locomotive runs fine now, doesn't snag the switches, and with all the rollers supplying power, it never stops on dead track.

I recommend the Legacy version if you buy one, the sounds are better, it has whistle steam, and of course the excellent Legacy Odyssey II speed control.  The older TMCC model had a much less desirable speed control, the sound isn't as good, and of course it doesn't have the whistle steam.

Someone should tell Lionel to re-issue the Lionmaster PRR T1 - after all, they did the Lionmaster Challenger three times, didn't they?  Wouldn't cost anything in new tooling.

Lionel, are you listening?

You might want to buy the 6-38020 as it is from 2002 & 2003, price is around $630.00 according to the Greenberg's book for one in good condition. The other one(6-11207) is from 2010 and according to Greenberg's price guide is around $800.00. 

You might find an engine cheaper at a train show or an online vendor.

IMO, Greenberg is all wet here.  No way the 2002 TMCC one is worth that much money, nor is the later Legacy model. 

If someones to pay me anything like $800 for the Legacy model 6-11207, I have one to sell!   I'd probably consider the $630 that they claim is the value of the TMCC version.

To follow up on John's remarks, virtually no one uses Greenberg's Guide any more. In many/most cases, it gives values that are way too high for the market. No one knows where they get these values, because empirical observations indicate few people pay those prices. Greenberg's values seemed to start diverging from reality at least a decade or more ago, for some unknown reason.

Mark,

  There was one on the For Sale Forum about two months ago:

I once had the older version and it ran well, FWIW.

I have both Lionmaster T1's , 11207 & 38020 . If you can get the Legacy 11207 you will be more then happy with it.

Mark, send me an email, I may be able to help you.

Sorry for the late reply! Thanks for the input! I will be sure to look into it.
