Postwar Celebration Series #1563W Wabash Freight Set
   Christmas morning, 1956. Under the tree, a big, brightly wrapped box awaits a wide-eyed child. One was a very lucky boy indeed if he received the #1563W Wabash F-3 Freight Set. An action-packed consist, including a bright searchlight car, operating barrel car and the famed Evans auto loader, was pulled by the legendary Lionel F-3 diesel. This set is still prized by Lionel collectors to this day.
   The new Postwar Celebration Series #1563W Wabash Freight Set is inspired by the original classic with authentically reproduced colors and graphics. Many of the pieces are carefully manufactured with the same 1956 vintage tooling. The #6357 caboose is the first of its type offered with a metal frame and ends since the original issue. The #3620 Searchlight Car includes remote control operation. Adjust the searchlight’s brightness level and how fast or slow the light rotates via a Remote Control Track section (sold separately).
   The Wabash F-3 A-unit is powered by dual Pullmor motors with the Magne-Traction track gripping system. The TrainMaster Command Control system and the RailSounds sound system bring even more excitement to this classic set. Each car and locomotive includes a Postwar plaque and special Postwar Celebration Series packaging.
