Union
Pacific ALCo PA Passenger Train Set
The
Union Pacific Railroad pioneered high-speed passenger streamliners
in the 1930s. After World War II, streamlined passenger cars were
still a preferred means of travel. In 1947, Union Pacific took delivery
of the new 2000 horsepower ALCo PA passenger diesel locomotive.
The powerful PAs streaked across the West leading long Armour
Yellow and Gray Mist colored trains. The new Lionel Union Pacific
ALCo PA Passenger Train Set recreates the exciting style of these
classic streamliners. An all-new ALCo PA A-B-A set pulls seven newly
detailed aluminum passenger cars. The Union Pacific livery includes
car names taken from the famed 1950 Lionel Anniversary Set. The
new Union Pacific ALCo PA Passenger Train Set promises to live up
to its inspiration.
The PA locomotive was the pride and joy of the
American Locomotive Company during the postwar years. Lionel designers
strove for accuracy and reliable performance in creating this new
model of ALCos Glamour Girl. Produced from all-new
tooling the ALCo PA A-units and PB B-units feature many accurate
separately applied details such as see-through screens and pivoting
diaphragms on the rear doors. The TrainMaster Command Control system,
RailSounds sound system and the Odyssey System for speed control
highlight the high performance features.
The aluminum passenger cars have detailed, lighted
interiors with many all-new features for 2003, including separately
applied streamlined vestibule details including a working rubber
diaphragm and separately applied roof vents and grab handles. The
cars ride on all-new highly detailed die-cast metal sprung trucks.
The offset vista dome is also a new floor plan for 2003. An aluminum
StationSounds diner is included for the added realism of arrival/departure
calls, en route announcements and more. This all-new Lionel train
set includes everything needed for one of the most exciting passenger
train experiences available in O gauge.
