THE CHIEF FREIGHT — The greatest scale model freight ever made- nearly 7 1/2 feet of authentic, colorful, action—filled train, headed up by three Diesel locomotives that not only have twin worm-drive motors but also feature the sensational new Diesel "Roar" that duplicates the actual sounds of real Diesel motors! This is the outfit that has everything: thundering speed, tremendous pulling power. amazing climb, four remote controlled action cars, 200 inches of 2—rail track AND the fascinating No. K775 Loading Platform with the baggageman who loads up your box car at the touch of a remote control button. When you hear the big Diesel "growler" rocketing along the high iron, blasting its deep throated horn for the grade crossings, you’ll agree there’s nothing finer in the world of electric trains. Train measures 6 ft., 11 1/2 in. long. Track is 200" long.
