The Dreyfuss Hudson locomotive and 20th Century Limited train are perennial favorites of mine - so I was eager to see what Lionel would offer in the new (2023) catalog. Unfortunately, the O60 (locomotive) and O54 (passenger cars) minimum curve restrictions place all of the new Legacy models out of reach for me. The biggest curves around here are O48. Happily, I have my RailKing Dreyfuss Hudson locomotive/tender set (fall/winter 1996 MTH catalog), 4 car passenger set (spring 1997 catalog), and 2 car add-on set (1997 vol. II catalog) with which I can cobble together a working facsimile of the 20th Century Limited - shown below navigating O36 curves.
I look forward to other members posting reviews, photos, and videos of their new Legacy models when they become available and are up and running. I expect they will be wonderful.
Hi-Ho,
Sam
