Think of the fun of operating this fast freight by remote control. Listen to those "choo-choos" as your train starts to glide forward. Look at the smoke come billowing up from the smoke stack. And each time you open the throttle wider, the "choo-choo" sounds and smoke mount in volume. The husky die-cast locomotive has Lucite electric headlight and removable boiler front. Behind it are the bunker type tender, log car with six wooden logs, box car with sliding doors, and caboose with electric light. Both train and track are built to 3/16" scale, so that they are in correct proportion to each other. The electric uncoupling device enables you to uncouple cars by remote control. Cars can be coupled again automatically. 14 sections of track make 140" oval. 75 Watt or 100 Watt Transformer recommended.
