The Ambassador O Gauge Lionel Corporation Tinplate O Gauge American Flyer Passenger Set w/Proto-Sound 2.0
Overview
Here was a custom-built train identical to the President's special, finished however in Cadmium Electric Plating rather then the standard Rolls Royce Cadmium Blue. "The finish has the appearance of either a high reflective brilliance or a satin-like dull gloss and has 20 times the rust-resisting qualities of nickel-plating". "Everything you see in this marvelous train is there - it has speed - it has stamina - it has matchless beauty and smartness of lines - it radiates richness in color scheme and boasts an array of solid brass and polished nickel trim found in no other train".
These extremely limited versions of the Ambassador set has been included in MTH's 2011 Lionel Corporation Tinplate lineup with a contemporary version that provides stellar performance to go along with its great looks. As with the original, the set is modeled after the Milwaukee Road Bi-Polar Electrics and features the No. 3117 Electric Locomotive, 3380 Club Car, 3381 Pullman Car, and one No. 3382 Observation Car. Available today with advancements such as ProtoSound 2.0, Operating Metal Latch Couplers, and (2) Precision Flywheel Equipped Motors, these sets are true replicas of these tinplate rarities.
