Norfolk
& Western Class A
Articulated Steam Locomotive
Continuing in a new line of highly detailed, smooth
running Lionel articulated steam locomotives comes the
Norfolk & Western Class A. Built in N&W's famous
Roanoke shops from the late 1930's to 1950, the Class A
set new speed records for steam locomotives. Weighing in
at close to 600,000 pounds, these behemoths were needed
for speed and power through the mountainous areas of
N&W's routes and the ability to haul heavy tonnage at
speeds of 60 mph on the flat areas of the route. The Class
A's were so successful, that N&W built 43 in total.
They proved to be worth their weight in gold.
Lionel brings
this impressive locomotive to life with the all-new 1218
Class A Steam Locomotive. Made from completely new
tooling, this locomotive brings power and realism to your
layout. Powered by a brawny Pittman�
motor, the die-cast locomotive and tender glide
effortlessly across your tracks. Its features are
seemingly endless. Included are Command Control, Class A
Articulated RailSounds, a swing-out scale coupler on the
pilot, wireless tether, brakeman's doghouse on tender, red
firebox glow, lighted number boards, separately applied
metal details, and much, much more. The 1218, restored to
its original splendor, was put into excursion service in
1987, and is recreated yet again as only Lionel can. Do
not let this opportunity go by the wayside. Rush to your
