These aren't uncommon by any means, but I thought I'd share some pictures of the Tyco NH set I recently fixed up. Somewhere along the line I acquired two NH sets: one with functional lighting but botched paint jobs, and the other with fresh bodies but completely gutted interiors (no lights, silhouettes, or windows). I reproduced a full set of window bands and swapped the good bodies onto the lighted frames. Now I just need some engines...

DaCheez, you are DA CHEEZ. Beautiful and remarkable set. Also the backdrop of
New England autumn foliage really makes this photo zing.
How does that Alco work? One of my first posts was of that unit, pulled from the
junk box with a frozen motor and one of the TF guys gave me some pointers and
now she runs like new. Nice choice of loco to have on point. Looks really good.

Chops, the Alco works well. I think the New Haven scheme is the best looking Alco that Tyco made. It looks nice with the streamliners, but I'd still like to grab a pair of 1960's F-units.
Agreed Walt, the Orange really pops!

Nope, those are engines I'm still missing. I appreciate the offer, but figure I'll run across a set eventually! I've run these cars fairly recently behind an Athearn pair of F7s.

I obtained this Transcontinental set a few years ago and yes, it doesn't come around too often.

Beautiful! It's odd to see them with the correct Tyco F7s. I've become accustomed to the Athearn engines that head mine up.
