This big Alco "A" unit Diesel "growler", with its powerful worm·drive motor, is steel mile-eater. Just open up the throttle on the mainline end you’ll agree there’s no finer sight than this American Flyer thoroughbred, streaking slung the track at the head end of its three streamlined Pullmans, each one an exact 3/l6" scale model replica of the kind on the big roads.
