What a lot of fun there is to be had with this detail-loaded outfit! With its big red utility car to hose the train crew, you can send this trouble-shooting with ease, while powerful floodlight bathes the scene with illumination. And look at the authentic scale model 0-8-0 switcher locomotive with its mass of accurate detail! Like real locos, it puffs Smoke and Choo-choos as it runs, while its Pull-Mor power enables it to "walk away" with 40 or more cars. New built-in Whistle – best yet – blows real McCoy blasts by remote control. Cars uncouple and entire train operates by remote control. Set is 4 ft. 8 1/2" in. long. Track is 160" long.
