There's massive power and overwhelming speed in this crack American Flyer limited, just as there is in the real-life passenger trains that connect key U. S. cities. The rugged locomotive, with plenty of track-hugging weight, has the combined Smoke (lots of it, that lasts for hours!) and Choo-Choo, without which no electric train can be realistic. And, even more, it has the brand new Air Chime Whistle, patterned after the kind made by the Nathan Company for real railroads (See page 3 for details). Cars, which uncouple by remote control, are fully illuminated inside and are blueprint copies in miniature of New Haven Railroad coaches. Set measures 4 ft., 2 in. long. Track forms 140 in. oval.
