Lionel 6-30180

PENNSYLVANIA HORSESHOE CURVE TRAIN SET - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

 

  • We recommend this set because, compared to the lower cost starter sets, the all metal 4-8-2 Berkshire Loco and Tender in this set is built just like the old days, with no shortcuts what-so-ever like using plastic
  • Equipped with trainsounds and other deluxe features, the loco will be running 50 or more years from now
  • In addition, with 8 drive wheels, the loco is a larger, more durable and more powerful heavy duty locomotive than the others
  • The set is complete and ready to run with no assembly required
  • Just snap the track together, put it on the floor or carpet and let the fun begin
  • The loco and each car are seperately boxed in a Lionel Box within a colorful set box; just imagine all the extra excitement on Christmas morning by wrapping each seperately and adding 5 extra presents under the tree
  • Berkshires were a radically new steam locomotive design with a 2-8-4 wheel arrangement. Hauling many more cars much faster than any older locos, they were a breakthrough and hailed as 'superpower' by the railroad world.
  • With pipes and many other details added by hand, this Lionel all metal loco and tender lives up to it's big brother in every way
  • Loco is equipped with forward, neutral and reverse, a maintenance free motor, smoke, engineer and fireman figures
  • The railsounds system has steam chuffing, steam whistle, bell, squealing brakes and operator-controlled multi-part crew dialog
  • The set is a deluxe set in every other respect as well; all of the cars have die-cast metal trucks with springs and operating couplers, and are unique to this set, not being cataloged for seperate sale or in any other set.
