O Gauge Lionel Corporation Tinplate No. 275W O Gauge Distant Control R-T-R Freight Train Set w/Proto-Sound 2.0
Overview
The No. 275W Remote Control Freight Train was headed in 1937 by the 263E steamer, an update of the earlier 260E with "elaborate, new driving gear"; its tender featured the remarkable Lionel whistle introduced two years earlier: "Railroad whistles by remote control are the greatest achievement in all Lionel's history of model building."
In addition to the 263E steam engine: a 2814 Series box car, 2812 Series gondola, 2817 Series caboose, 12-piece RealTrax oval, and a 100-watt power-supply controller comprise this freight train set.
Unlike the originals, however, this set includes features that a child in the 1930s could only dream about: synchronized puffing smoke, vibrant locomotive sounds, passenger station or freight terminal announcements, and a "Box-Type" Proto-CouplerT on the tender that can be remotely activated from the transformer.
