Lionel NYC S-2 Electric 6-18373: Opinions??
Posted by wjstix on Friday, March 16, 2007 3:52 PM
Hi there, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these engines, and if so, what do you think of them?? For some reason, they really appeal to me but I haven't seen one 'in action' as yet. Thanks !! Smile [:)]

I have one and like it.  The detail is very nice, access to controls is through the roof hatch.  Unit will handle O-36 curves but it is top heavy so I woould be carefull of running it at high speed on tight radius tracks.  Sounds are excellent.  I'm not a big fan of "cruise control" so I tend to run it with Odyssey turned off.  It looks good pulling my 5 car set of 18" streamliners.
When everything else fails, play dead
