I got one of the first Legacy engines it was the Norfolk Southern SD-40 when it came out, Lionel was putting on a Legacy Demo at our local hobby shop when I made the purchase. They asked to use my SD-40 on the demo layout and ran it with the Legacy Big Boy. After that demo I was convinced I could never go back, been having fun ever since.

The first Legacy Steamer was the Big Boy, the first Legacy Diesel was a GP-30 (CP #5000).
