Union Pacific O Gauge RailKing 2-8-0 Steam R-T-R Train Set w/Loco-Sound

America's expansion faced the daunting task of taming the west and the railroads proved to be the deciding factor in its ultimate population boom. The Union Pacific was one of the leading railroads of its day and proved a vital source for moving freight, goods and passengers. To this day, the U.P. still controls much of the rail traffic movement west of the Mississippi. A classic freight set is a great way to start your family's model railroading tradition and the Union Pacific 2-8-0 freight set makes a great beginning. Decorated in a classic Union Pacific paint scheme, this creative adaptation features an all metal steam engine boiler and chassis that feels as strong as it runs. The all-metal gears, wheels and axles will ensure a lifetime of fun. Trailing behind the puffing locomotive are three freight cars with sprung die-cast metal trucks and operating metal couplers. As with all RailKing Ready-to-Run sets, the 12 piece RealTrax oval assembles in minutes and can be placed right on the carpet for a quick, temporary layout.
