The longest model railroad train ever made and a masterpiece of construction from end to end! Just think of it: a three-unit streamlined Diesel locomotive and SEVEN authentic freight cars, the entire train measuring 7 ft, 8 in. long! Here's a train that will have your friends wide-eyed with amazement. As it rockets down the track it looks for all the world as though a magic wand had been waved over a real train, reducing it to perfect 3/16" scale. The giant locomotives have two motors and can start, stop and reverse by remote control. When you hear the mighty Air Chime Whistle blast for grade crossings and in freight yards you’ll agree there’s nothing quite so realistic. All cars have Knuckle Couplers.
