New York Central O Gauge RailKing 2-8-0 Steam R-T-R Train Set w/Loco-Sound

For much of the twentieth century, the chief rival of the mighty Pennsylvania Railroad was the New York Central. While the Pennsy headed west by conquering the Appalachian Mountains, the NYC followed an easier but less direct route, up the Hudson River Valley and then west along the shores of the Great Lakes - leading the NYC to advertise itself as the Water Level Route. The Central's mainline along the Hudson River was the first four-track long-distance railroad in the world. Along this raceway sped freight bound for the Midwest and passenger trains that included the New York-to-Chicago Twentieth Century Limited, one of the most famous and luxurious trains in the world.

Recreate the drama of fast freight traffic on the Water Level Route with this rugged and colorful train set, complete with die-cast metal steam engine featuring puffing smoke and bell, whistle, and freight yard sounds. For even more fun, add an operating dump car or a boxcar with a signal man who pops out to signal the engineer.
