Hello everyone. I am inquiring to see if there is a comprehensive list of all Legacy and Visionline Engines that have been produced? I have searched Google to no avail. Thank you for your replies.

I started this list many years ago, but have not updated it in about 1 year. Believe the last catalog I added was 2017 Signature. hard to believe so many engines in 10 years.
Thanks Ed!! That is great! Lots of engines on there, WOW!

I really like that list and hope you will continue to keep it up.
Amazing list. Thank you for keeping track.
This kind of list reflects Lionels' efforts and dedication over the last decade at meeting their overall customer requests for more road names and newer engines. You can't please everybody but Lionel sure has tried!

I have been using this list for years, and it was the one I was going to link to. Now I can say thanks!!
Thanks Ed for your continued effort. Lists is really handy to have access to.

wow! this is definitely a great list
Excellent!!!
Yea Buddy
Larry
Excellent effort Ed, thank you.
Complete with photos; WOW
Man, that's a lot of different products!
Amazing amount of effort sir, thanks! (Now if I could only afford them:-)
Thanks for the words of encouragement regarding the legacy engines list. Plan to get it updated before the next Lionel catalog, or else I'll be too far behind. Looking at the numbers, counting 2018 Signature and 2017 Vol 2 there are almost 1300 Legacy engines.
And our remote can only store 99!!! Another reason to update the software
The remote doesn't store them, the command base stores them. 
Sorry I used the wrong term
That's a lot of work, Ed. Thanks for doing it and for sharing it.
Added 2017 Vol2 and 2018 Signature Items. Still need to double check. Fairly certain I'm missing a few recent uncataloged items.
Did you post an updated list? Thanks for all the work on this, looks like you did a lot of research!

Updated just a little ago, but now cant access the website. Seems like Hostway is having many issues lately. Hopefully the issues get resolved, if not I'll try posting it in a different format.
Wow, thanks for the list.
I look forward to the updates.

TMCC list I have but no MTH info. Give me a day or two and I'll post the TMCC list. Be interesting to see how many TMCC vs Legacy engines have been made.
calling OGR would you like to host this list?
or anyone else?
Attached is the list of TMCC engines. No photos for this list. Have not double checked it 100 percent. Be interested if anyone knows of any missing items.
The update for the Legacy Engines is still at the original location:

Thank you, Ed - that is great and a lot of work.
Just as an aside, I was able to copy the entire list as displayed, and paste it on an Excel worksheet. Now I am able to sort by any of the headings, search for any model, add filters, etc.

Alex - Pretty much exactly how I did the original list, although its an Access database, export to excel and then save as html or pdf file. For basic sorting and searching excel will do the job, but for advanced searches and filtering Access can do wonders.
To some degree this is invaluable to wanna be LCS programmers who with this info should be able to associate the engine on the track with a picture. Take a little elbow grease but seems possible. [amending original post]...
So looking at this more closely and in regard to the comment above about LCS -- it might be nice to split up each engine into its actual kind -- not just the range -- so for example GP-35, not "GP7-38" ...
And further, this is the tricky bit -- provide an interface through some kind of HTTP query so others can nab the info in that way if they want to do that.
It would look something like:
http: //www.lionel-modern-era.com / legacy_engines ? class= gp-35 ? rr=burlington ? type=diesel
(note: i had to put spaces in to keep this website from interpreting the above FAKE url as a real one to illustrate the syntax as i don't know how to "escape" it...)
And so on... there could several kinds of queries and of course the idea is to get the info back -- the photo being one major item of interest.
Here's some info on that idea if you don't already know of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string
[update #2]
And I hate to be a total you know what about this -- but here's another suggestion: make more columns... for example - below. I would have catalog-year, and then catalog type. I would also have vision and scale as columns. I think i'd put the road # in its own column too (less quotes).
If you are hand building this -- let me know if you like this idea, I could probably with a little code split it all up for you based on the original list ... so if you want that, I can try it.... let me know -- i'd give it a go and sent the result back as a table in some form.
| PHOTO | ITEM | SET | DESCRIPTION | PRICE | CLASS | SUB-CLASS | CATALOG | CLUB | NOTES |
| photo | 28314 | Union Pacific "2701" Genset, Vision, scale | $674.99 | Diesel | 3GS21B | 2009Sig | MSRP originally $799.99

I started there, just grab it all. But he's hosting it, thought he might enjoy some ideas. Probably not -- so he can ignore them, no problem.
Very nice Ed, that's a lot of work collecting all that info!
