Beauty, power and performance all rolled into one! Here's the mightiest steam locomotive in the entire American Flyer roundhouse, a thundering behemoth made to 3/16-inch scale from blueprints of the Union Pacific Railroad's giant 4-8-4 "Northern" type. Like the original, this American Flyer "smoker" is a dual-purpose locomotive, equally at home with a long freight haul or at the head end of a string of passenger cars. Couplers on Tender are new Knuckle type. Locomotive and Tender measure 21 1/2 inches. Includes Smoke Capsule and Funnel plus remote control whistle unit and complete instructions.
