The pulling power of this loco and the careful attention to real railroad details are usually found in locomotives that cost much, much more!
The motor in this 8 1/2"-long replica of the 80-ton General Electric No. 520 features a sturdy parallel plate, involute gearing arrangement for plenty of extra pulling power.
Self-centering knuckle couplers on both ends will meet with any operating Lionel knuckle coupler. Four solid steel driving wheels plus two steel pilot trucks to guide her over switches and crossings.
Realistic pantograph on the roof is collapsible. Brilliant coloring and detailing of the four ornamental headlights, ladders, rail and vents... all make the No. 520 an outstanding loco!
The original selling price of this unit was $12.95.
