Overview
Standard gauge steam engines like the 384 were not so much scale models of real locomotives, but cartoon-like caricatures: wildly oversized drivers, bright brass or nickel trim, colorful, gleaming paint, and a cast iron frame topped by a sheet metal boiler and cab. Our Tinplate Traditions Baltimore & Ohio passenger set replicates the magic of the tinplate trains that gladdened the heart of many a child in the early decades of the 20th century.
The bright colors of this set are inspired by B&O name trains like the Capitol Limited and the Cincinnatian, that, as the B&O proclaimed, "linked 13 great states with the nation." Thanks to Proto-Sound 2.0 electronics, our 384 steamer delivers smoother operation than any original standard gauge locomotive, as well as huge plumes of puffing smoke - timed to the driver's revolutions - and a clanging bell and wailing whistle guaranteed to delight children of all ages. Our replica of the 384 is trailed by two B&O passenger cars decorated with bright metal trim and colorful baked enamel paint.
