Start this sleek passenger train on its exciting run with smooth precision — just as a real engineer would. There's no jerky "jack-rabbit" pull with American Flyer's worm-gear drive. Then watch it puff smoke —- and hear those "choo-choos." Notice how perfectly they stay synchronized with train speed. The gleaming black locomotive has four mighty drive wheels with eccentric arm double action piston rods. Lucite electric headlight. The tender is filled with imitation coal. The two long, handsome coaches have electric lights and are of lightweight plastic. It's a big satisfaction to know that locomotive, tender. all cars and two-rail track are engineered to uniform 3/16" scale. Your train looks right — hugs the track right as it speeds around curves. Automatic coupling and electric uncoupling add to the fun of operating. Track makes 140" oval. 75 Watt or 100 Watt Transformer recommended.
