I don't currently have a place to run the unit but thought you would enjoy the pictures of the model.

A neat looking passenger mover, would have liked Lionel to go the extra mile and included a horn & bell in the sound chip.

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....
