Sweet set, from the engine to the Mighty Sounds of Steam to the rolling stock and caboose. 💯 We had a Grant's department store when I was a kid, then it became Hills, and now it's a Planet Fitness. 😔
@@gusshadleythelunaticfromar7125 I bought the set when it was introduced, but have gone through several down-sizing's when we moved, so the set is gone, but not forgotten. Good to see it again on your layout.
@@JFLionelT-RailOperator Yea I Felt Like I Struck A Home Run On This One, Back In 1976, I Seen It At Western Auto, I Could Have Had It, But It Was 175.00, So Do The Math 48 Years Later I Got It For 200.00, So Quite A Discount.
It amazes me too. Back in 1976 owning one new was out of the question, well it's running better now with some light lubrication, don't want to thrash it to death.

That’s a really nice set. Runs very good and good looking! 👍
Very nice
Cool set
This set was an early statement about quality from Lionel MPC. Looks and runs great.
Do you still have this set?

It's amazing how "new old stock" keep showing up after all these years.
