I know I can find the older version on ebay John and cobble the set together but I am spoiled.....I see this is a TMCC version which would add to its playability. I wish I had gotten the train bug earlier...lol!

If you get a lead for me at York or have any other ideas to aid in the hunt...LMK

Thanks, Pete

Pete, the army one is TMCC as well, at least my version. Be forewarned, I've seen several of them, including mine, they all needed a little mechanical tweaking for reliable operation. However, once they're sorted out, they're very cool. I think there's a blue Navy version as well, but it may be the earlier PW model without command.

What did you get?

Found a new US Army one on Ebay. Not the set unfortunately. It was the blue one but it had TMCC. Color does not bother me since I am using it for my next project. I plan to camo it. I also found the sound car To compliment it. It was a bit more than I wanted to pay but I’m not getting any younger so I bought it in mind to modify and have some fun.
Thanks for your help John. I will post it when I finish modifying it.

Sounds like a cool project, looking forward to seeing the finished product.
