Product Information

From the shores of Lake Erie to the industrial furnaces of Pennsylvania and Ohio, the Bessemer and Lake Erie was a critical link in America's economy. A fleet of orange and black F7s kept this conveyer of coal, ore and finished materials moving for decades. In fact, the Bessemer kept several of its F's in regular service into the 1980s and beyond. Many now survive in new paint schemes on railroads all across the country. But long before they were parading fancy dinner trains, these locomotives were gritty workhorses keeping the mills rolling. Recreate those scenes on your layout with one of Lionel's most impressive sets - stretching 10 feet in length. Included are a powered A-B set of F7s, a dozen ore cars and bay window caboose. But if this train isn't enough for you, we have two additional locomotives and 12 more ore cars available to stretch that consist even further! This is heavy industrial railroading at its best.
