24 PIECES. 69 15/16” LONG
It smokes like a Mainliner. It "choo-choos" like a Mainliner. It is a Mainliner . . . in every detail an authentic replica of the gigantic Hudsons that roar their way through the Empire State! Wheeled by the same type engine that operated the control valves in the famous Grumman Hellcat, it is truly a glorious sight. But it's even more exciting at night as it steps bravely through a darkened room, its Lucite electric head lamp throwing a long white beam down its realistic two·rail track, lights sparkling under the imitation shades of the modern lightweight plastic Pullmans and observation car. Quiet, even-pulling worm drive gives you the special thrill of having instantaneous, super-smooth control over this husky locomotive at all speeds from a slow crawl to a full "highball." Track makes 160" oval. 100 or 150 Watt Transformer recommended.
