Gotta love the traditional TYCO 2 axle trucks on an EMD 'E' unit that had 3 axles :)

Nice catch with the 70's and early 80's TARGET tag.

WOW, i miss seeing those boxes they came out of ^^

The Gantry Crane still sealed in plastic! Also the loco is City of San Francisco

memory lane, thats all i can say really ^^

true & I'm looking for MOAR

I'm gunna guess the engine will be for memory sake or shelf display?

nopes put in box AFTER it gets tested

You're.......you're going to run it??


Not to sound negative or anything.....but unless you re-motor it, I wouldn't even bother. Tyco trains are pretty much the lowest quality possible.

yeah true they site I go to they remotor them with CD motors

Hahahahaha!! Hell, anything would work better than Tyco motors lol.


I think I may have seen a re-motored Tyco engine in real life once. Switched out the crappy motor for a standard CAN motor. Worked great then :3


Would be an interesting project. Could probably turn a Tyco locomotive into a really nice one after some work. May have to try that sometime for shits and giggles ^-^
