Just sitting and thinking about some train sets that might work. How about a NYC Putnam division "old Put" set!? Could be a starter or premium set...but sounds good!

That would be great!
A Legacy RS3 or another 4-6-0 with a few 60' scale Madison cars.
A Legacy RS3 with a few mixed freight cars.....a box car, a reefer, a tank car, a flat with load and a coal hopper....with an appropriate caboose.
I would like see a LION CHIEF PLUS RS-3 set with NYC engine & various East coast freight cars & NYC CABOOSE !
NO TRACK or Transformer ! to reduce set price !

Easy enough to put sets like these together. They have all been made many times over.
Atlas 60' scale passenger car.

Hi Norton !
I have that same engine ! it is a great runner with smoke !
My question for you is Are those Mth RAILKING 60' Madison cars or ?
Either way I like your set !
The 18" cars are Lionel but the 15" car (60') is Atlas. They have coaches and a baggage car also in 15".

Norton, you took all the fun out out of it! Just kidding. Yeah I guess anyone could put one together . I was thinking maybe MTH with their 4-6-0 and a three car madison consist
Rick, The idea of sets is good but me being frugal, ok tightwad, like the hunt. Given current catalog prices I think you could put together your set for half the price of what a new set would go for.

I have a K Line RS3 #8322 from ~2001-02. It smokes like a champ and pulls great. I combine it with the 60' Atlas cars....or the selected fright cars I mentioned above.....I also use my Lionel 4-6-0 with these cars.
Here's a video.....with the Hudson showing up, I guess I have to say I'm well into the Bronx, near where the Put joins the Hudson Divison......I can smell the fresh bake cookies from the Stall Doro factory right now!

This is a fun model that I'm sure would be fun and popular. Personally I use my Lionel Service Station NYC RS3 mixed train sans freight cars as my Putnam division train.
As a new purpose built set I would love to see a new mold of modern lines Class C 4-4-0 #1038 heading the set but I would be happy with Class F12 4-6-0 #1234 because both Lionel and MTH have made passable models of this class depending on how detailed one wants.
Passenger car wise I like the Atlas Industrial Rail coach and combine cars. I think one of each would be fine. I would like them in the green paint.
Since the two cars is fine for my Putnam train I would love to see a kit included that could be the Briarcliff Manor, Yorktown Heights, Amawalk, or Baldwin Place because each of those stations was made to the same very photogenic pattern.
Just for the fun of it.

Love this pics, Mike!

I'm from Long Island and love my LIRR, but there is something magical about the "Old Put"!
Tom, I was going to mention a girder bridge in the set!
Like this bridge? This is a bridge on the old New York Central loop in Buffalo, NY.

I believe the shot of the Brewster Station is a Harlem Division train. The Brewster station was on the Harlem Line. The Put came onto the Harlem Division to make it's final stop at Brewster.
