thanks guys,,,,but I wonder why,most lti classics don't move,,,,they are nice,,,mth made them,,,i guess since they don't any sounds etc,,,,,that's what makes them duds,,,,,i have the 3 xmas cars from them they are like boat anchors at the train meets,,great stuff wrong time,, I guess,,,,
Terry,
Nice!!! I always liked this set.... However,never been able to find this one at a real good price. Enjoy!!!

Always an expensive one.... but nice. They run so Nice. Better than new LCT.
I would love to see this one done in LCT. To each his own but I like the sounds,smoke and the smooth proformence of a modern can motor. This would be a must have for me and I think a winner for MTH/Lionel.
I would also,,,any 390,,i miss that it doesn't smoke,,,but it does have a whistle,,,,i heard the lost the die for the frame or it was broken,,,isn't that what backwards engineering is about?,,maybe time will tell,,thanks
ron, yes it wasn't cheap but then,,,,what would it cost today? ,more than what I paided,havent run it yet,,,,dont know what i'm waiting for ,,I do have the black lti 390 ,maybe tomorrow I will fire it up,,,thanks

That is one piece of tooling worth doing again no matter what happened to it. 390's would sell. If LCT did the Fire ball I think they would be off the charts!
