No locomotive in electric train history has so captured the imagination and received such extravagant praise as this sleek American Flyer Diesel streamliner. In actual tests and speed trials this twin-motored rail giant has left competitors for behind, including the best and fastest models of other train manufacturers. On curves at high speeds she seems literally part of the rails; on grades and flat hauls she performs like the 2,000 H.P. workhorse after which she is patterned. Compare this handsome locomotive that measures nearly two feet with ANY other and you'll see why it's far ahead of the field. Note its long, low silhouette, its sweeping length and superb modeling. With its brand new Air Chime Whistle that blows long blasts or short tools by remote control she's the most modem loco on wheels. Fully detailed, from front to rear. Measures 23 7/8 inches long. Complete with Air Chime Whistle unit and Instructions.
