Nickel Plate Road 779 by lionel tmcc

I'll see if I can take some pics tomorrow.  I like the engine and really like the whistle.

 

All you need to do is check out the latest Legacy NKP Berk or for that matter, any of the newest Legacy steams to get a mirror image snapshot of their older TMCC counterparts. 

With exception of electronic upgrades nothing has changed.

I have the #779. For me, its no different then any of my other TMCC steams, bulletproof!!.  

IMO, for those like me who appreciate visual substance and find it more important then sound enhancement, and taking into account current street prices, any of the older TMCC steamers offer the best value for the buck in O gauge today.

Are we talking about the 38050 from 2003 

Any video online ???

Thx

Just figured out how to post pictures.  Hope this helps. I like mine.  I bought it new/ unopened last year and it needed a new board (about $150 repair).  So it goes...  I feel like I purchased it affordably enough.
     I have the 2010 version of the 765, and it is comparable.

If the Erie #3315 is one of them, seen here in the foreground for a close look, entering a service yard, it is an absolutely dependable and real-looking engine, IMO, which has not been off the layout for ten ears.

 

And I agree w/ Doug N. about its whistle - my favorite.

Nice pictures. It's on my list for someday.
