GIRL'S FREIGHT SET W\P3 PINK O GAUGE TINPLATE
 |
| Despite the clamor for more detailed O Gauge models, not everything was a hit with the customer. One of the most colossal failures in Lionel's post-war history was the 1957 Girl's Set which was Lionel's lone attempt to woo another market segment into their toy train business. Despite the market's rejection of the Girl's Set, it eventually became a favorite with collectors and is now one of the most sought-after Lionel products of the past. Now, for the first time ever, tinplate fans can obtain a tinplate O Gauge version of the famous Girl's Set from Lionel Corporation Tinplate. Outfitted with a 263E steam locomotive and five 2800 series O Gauge freight cars, the 2012 Girl's Set is available in both Proto-Sound 3.0 Contemporary trim or with a repro AC motor and mechanical e-unit in Traditional trim. When purchased in Contemporary trim, operators will enjoy state-of-the-art features that were unheard of in 1957 including synchronized puffing smoke timed to the drive wheel revolutions, full digital sound and bright, constant-on lighting. The smooth operating drive train can not only handle the 5-car consist found in the set, but can easily pull additional cars including the two add-on cars featured on the set's catalog page.
