Looks good. Mine is on a UPS truck somewhere between a hobby shop in New Jersey and Waukesha!
A neat looking passenger mover, would have liked Lionel to go the extra mile and included a horn & bell in the sound chip.
[:)]it is a real cool looking unit. thanks for sharing pictures.
Looks better than the catalog picture. Mighty tempting looking car. And NYC of course.
Picked mine up at the LHS last Saturday.
Runs great! I especially like the way the ‘jet engine’ spools up when the power is first turned on. Haven’t read the instruction book yet to see if there is a way to have the ‘jet engine’ spool down when the power is shut off.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
That is one cool unit. I thought it looked sharp in the catalog, but as Sir James already pointed out, it looks way better in reality…[wow]
