Pennsylvania LEGACY S2 #6200 - smoke lifters A stalwart in Lionel catalogs since 1946, Pennsylvania's S2 Turbine was as much a celebrity as a one-off, ultimately failed, experimental locomotive could hope to be. The real Pennsylvania 6200 employed a 6900 hp Westinghouse turbine in place of reciprocating pistons. This greatly simplified valve gear and improved balance while providing more than ample power for the passenger trains it was designed to pull. Unfortunately, as experiments often are, the locomotive had its flaws. High fuel and maintenance costs, and a size which limited its range to the west end of the railroad quickly limited the "big swoosh's" potential as improvements in competing diesels showed the writing on the wall. 6200 was just two years old when Lionel added the first models to our catalog. At the time, the locomotive still represented the latest and potential future in steam power. What's more, that simplified valve gear had to look great to the model design and production teams! As Lionel and America returned to peaceful postwar business, the 671 and 2020 turbines landed high on thousands of Christmas wish lists. It was the start of a golden era for our company and country and a moment worth celebrating again on our 125TH Anniversary. In addition to two prototypical variations, and one based on Baldwin's own builders' photo, we've also added two fantasy PRR paint schemes as well as one based on the C&O's experimental turbine and one from the Southern Pacific that never existed - we just think it would have looked amazing if it had! So, no matter what gets you feeling nostalgic again, we've got the turbine to stir your imagination.
