I have changed my mind. I have to say that my Lionel No. 8904 (my first Lionel) surpasses my bershire.

The only drawback for some guys is that you don't get TMCC or DCS with the locomotive but that is just fine for me, just means I won't have to waiste money on electronic control systems.alexweiihman,Diesel is spelled differant than the way you have it!Lee F.
Dep,

Lee: Actually, I wanted to twist John's arm to buy an S2 anyway Not sure if I'd leave the Williams stuff without TMCC and sounds. I already have a couple of GP9s that I plan on upgrading. I do have the Lionel boxcars with Trainsounds in them, so I can use those temporarily. I'm just not keen about being locked to a transformer. Most all of my stuff is DCS/TMCC.

Hey John...I thought for sure it would be a Jersey Central FM that would be your pick.
Dep, That would probably rate as my favorite diesel. I should have added my 2nd place steamer would be the CNJ P47 Baldwin pacific in Blue Comet colors.
