WOW! That's Fantastic Bruce! Charlie Entenmann (92) passed recently... I'll pass the youtube link on to the family ...they will love it!!!
This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing this gem! Congratulations on completing this delicious set!
METCA's offerings through at least the last 10 years have always been great. I collected all of their "Mint" (Bullion) cars - NY , NJ and PA road names on them makes them different and desirable. I think Entenmann's is their first complete set - I love it.
Always a welcoming, positive and pleasant group too!
Great set Bruce. The cop- hobo gondola needs the figures put back holding doughnuts......
My grandmother lived down wind of the old plant in Bay Shore. Even after her great Italian cooking, you would still get hungry when the smell hit you.

Beautiful. The GP7 and caboose offering came at a bad time for me and I couldn't swing the purchase. You have my admiration for completing the set.
Always thought that for a lark they'd make an Entenmann's Mint Car.
Nice Set!!! Always loved Entenmann's and still do to this day!
Is the Entenmann's GP7 a Bluetooth engine that can be operated by a smart phone?
Yes!
I'm sure that it is fantastic to use LionChief 2.0 with Bluetooth.
-just curious, when the GP7 is paired with the Smartphone, do you see the Entenmann's Engine, or a Generic GP7?
Do you also use the Legacy Controller and Power Master Base, and do you have plans to buy CAB 3?

I am not near the engine with smartphone so I don't recall the name that pops up on the phone. Someone else may be able to chime in with the answer.

Even using Legacy with a CAB2, the engine is designed to run in TMCC mode at a constant 18 VAC. A Power Master is not necessary. Although I will buy a CAB3, it will not be necessary to get full enjoyment out of the Entenmanns engine.
