Price in 1951: Unlisted One of the most famous steam locomotives in railroad history was used as the prototype for this 3/16-inch scale model American Flyer beauty. Ease this powerful behemoth of the rails out of the yards onto the main line and just watch her perform! Smoke and Choo-Choos (only American Flyer has this real railroad feature) keep time with the hurrying drivers as she sweeps along the "high iron." You'll find plenty of power for fast runs or long hauls. A 4-6-2 locomotive, fully die cast, this rail giant is driven by the finest power plant in the electric train field; the Gilbert worm-and-gear motor. Combined Loco and Tender measure 17 3/4 inches long. Smoke Capsule, Funnel and Instructions included.
