MTH ELECTRIC TRAINS

At the turn of the 20th century, the railroad landscape was filled with large wheeled steam locomotives distinguished with large funnel shaped smoke stacks. First appearing in the 1870s, these 4-6-0 steam engines were some of the rrailroad's most favored designs until the early 1900s. Specializing in both freight and passenger use, these magnificent engines helped America expand westward while moving thousands of passengers and hauling tons of freight. Although long gone, the spirit of these engines can be revived with this magnificent 4-6-0 freight set which features a heavy 4-6-0 die-cast metal steam engine heading up a three-car freight consist. Decorated in spectacular Virginia & Truckee livery, the locomotive is equipped with all-metal gears, wheels and axles to ensure a lifetime of fun. The unique sounds of Proto-Sound 2.0 will amaze your friends and family. Imagine their faces when the whistle wails or the exlusive Freight Yard Proto-Effects simulate the loading and unloading for freight - just as if you were right there in the freight yard! Of course, seeing the synchronized puffing locomotive pull its three car freight consist with die-cast metal trucks and operating metal couplers is even more impressive and tells all who see it that this is one great set. 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.
