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.
