Larry,
Do you know if this is a common problem or if there are any common problems with LionChief locos?
I have seen on various forums that the LionChief concept is either the savior or the ruination of Lionel.
Do you have an opinion?
I do not have a local hobby shop and have never seen a LionChief loco. There is a train show in Savannah,GA
in January but no dealer had one. One dealer told me he would not stock them but would order if requested.

If they are all LC+ locos it should be possible to operate several with a larger transformer similar to using command control.
Lionel is making a power supply like the one that comes with the sets but of higher power.

I have seen reference to LionChief and LC+ problems on a different forum.
The problems were not specified and were not discussed. I think the reference
was similiar to "If Lionel can get the LC and LC+ problems fixed, this might be
a winner". Paraphrased somewhat because I have not been able to find it again.
Are there real problems or is this another case of Lionel bashing?

TOC could also be a railroad name possibly Toledo and Ohio Central which became part of the NYC.

mrnavy2,
I can't really answer your question but it was uncataloged and sort of scarce.
Probably was available through a club like the Lionel Rail Road Club [LRRC].

Lionel has offered several European prototype steam locos in the past and has done a few"Harry Potter" type recently.
Personally I have no interest in non American type locos.

You might be able to find box cars that were made by K-Line that were "It's a Boy/Girl".
Check with some of the larger stores that advertise in the mags, e-bay or any club to which you belong.
You might also try the buy/sell sections on other forums.

A similar set, the Chessie Flyer, got me back into model railroading after 50+ years away.

Suggest getting some of the books with small layout how-tos.
Kalmback, publisher of Classic Toy Trains, has several.

Almost all modern, post 1946, three rail O gauge trains are compatible.A few older trains from the late 1940s and early 1950s may
have coupler problems but thoat can be fixed. The different systems of locomotive control can also be compatible. If they are being
controlled with a traditional transformer there is no problem.

Christmas, 1946. I always wanted a train set, any kind would do. I was born in 1934 in the upper Ohio Valley which was still in the depression.
WW II ended the depression and the making of toy trains. My first train was the 1946 Lionel O-27 1400W set, the grey 221 with the blue and silver passenger cars. My aunt bought it for me and it cost her three weeks pay. $30.00. I think an O gauge set was $10.00 more and beyond reach. I still use O-27 track.
