Hello all,
I have a question. Did Lionel ever come out with a legacy B unit that matches the Santa fe f-3 Scale 6-14536?
Thanks Bob

This would be the closet thing.
They did make a scale powered B Unit but it has Legacy speed control and Legacy electronic so most likely wouldn't operate well with the units you posted about.
Thanks for the reply!! Good to know.
That was just a quick search on the site. Not sure if there would be a more sutable match.
There were two scale powered B's made 2004 and 2005 with Odyssey. 24533 and 24562. They both have silver truck sideframes. They come up frequently on the bay.

Yeah that's the powered one with the Legacy speed control. I doubt it would perform well with the older TMCC offering.
oh ok.

Are there any appreciable differences between these two?
The bay has the TMCC 6-14536 powered and dummy going for 399.00 with no bids as of yet. That is why I inquired about the legacy b unit. I have switched all of my engines to legacy and did not have any intention of going back to TMCC but I might have to because I guess Lionel doesnt think the f-3 would be a good seller because they have never offered it in legacy. By the way isnt the santa fe f-3 one of Lionels best sellers? Or I might go with the Lionel Legacy Santa Fe Alco PA A-A 6-34568 for 570.00. I almost like this one a little better. I watched one on You Tube and it looks like the fans are driven by something mechanized. That would be a cool feature that I have never seen before. Does anyone have one to confirm this.
Lionel did sell a SantaFe F3 with Legacy. AA with the separate B mentioned earlier. I own it and actually run an ABBA. One A and both Bs powered. An awesome sight for sure.

I guess that I missed that one. Yours are very nice. I will have to try and find a set for myself. The legacy post war looks close to the tmcc prewar. What are the differences between the two? From what I can see it is the little green lights and the mars light, and some paint near the door and portals. Beautiful engines. Thanks for the pics!
I know that this answer comes very late after your original post, but the 6-14539 "b" unit is what you are looking for. I have one that goes with the 6-14536 set (6-14537&6-14538)
