All read to troubleshoot a mainline accident, or carry a work gang out to that new track-laying job by tower 6. There's a lot of fun in store for the lucky young railroader who gets this set for his very own, because it's one of the most interesting trains ever made. Locomotive is exact copy, made to American Flyer 3/16" scale, of superb General Motors GP Road Switcher — "Jeep" to railroad men. Note the superstructure detail, the massive detailed trucks, the precise scaling. Rolling stock includes Flat Car with heavy girder, manual control Wrecker Car with Crane, and authentic Boom Car. Loco starts, stop and reverses by remote control; cars uncouple and couple automatically.
