Grand old Tyco F unit ACL. Some new Calumet traction tires, a little repair
to the bogie mounts, and she pulls like an ox.

Great looking paint scheme! Back when I got my Tyco ACL set I managed to acquire an A-B-B-A set of the F7s. Unfortunately only one engine was powered and couldn't handle all that dead weight.

Superb camera angles of the Sunshine Ltd. sweeping around the
curves. Great to hear some background music! A double entendre:
someone's going to miss us. Yes, that is what Tyco is about!

Your set seems to running perfectly, especially being what, fifty
plus years old? Putting Calumets on my anemic F unit gave her
new life.

It motors along well enough! I need to try some of these Calumets everyone keeps talking about. All my engines are either running the original tires, or have goody bands that I've sliced in half with a sharp pair of scissors.
