Very informative website by GoingInCirclez regarding all aspects of Tyco Trains. Large picture catalog of Tyco Items. Well done. Currently undergoing some reconstruction.

Click above image to launch Photo Album
Take a gander at the beginnings of our photo album of Tyco. More details will follow next week regarding the structure, content, purpose and requirements for the album. The intent is to be as inclusive of all members as possible with the goal of covering everything Tyco.
Loopy got me started on this with the 1950's catalogs.

The G was/is one of my favorite all-time locomotives. I got to see the real deal with a rather grotesque CR stencilled upon its nose back around '75 or thereabouts, thundering southward on the 4-track mainline north of NYC. It was pulling a dog train and appeared to be running at full throttle, probably the engineer having one last joy ride before the scrap heap (although apparently a few made it to Can Opener Blue before the scrapper).
Tyco's G was a piece of junk, but by putting two powered trucks in it I got her to run fairly decently, hoisting more than one or two cars.
I got a private chuckle during a model train open house, on this layout, whilst she blew loops past a friend's high-end remote control GG1 that kept collapsing into the ballast every few year yards. I remember his unit had remote-controlled pantographs that worked most of the time.

Hello folks, I am in the middle of recovering from a long hospital stay from pneumonia, who knew it could be such a butt kicker, and moving Armodilloville into a newly acquired spare bedroom.
So for now, I am going to run some reruns. This one features some of Anderson Paint Shop's best and a very rare Tyco F Unit in New Wales Australia livery. It took me over a year to find this puppy, and I had to sell a kidney to get it.
