Price in 1953: Unlisted Long, sleek and low and with the speed of a whippet! With its powerful Gilbert worm-drive motor, the best electric train power plant there is, this rugged Silver Comet Diesel is a real mile-eater. Starting, stopping and reversing is by remote control; streamlined cars, beautifully detailed and with striking bright silver finish, uncouple electrically by remote action. All rolling stock has interior illumination and railroad-type Knuckle Couplers.
