Product Information

The Pennsylvania outfitted its premier Pennsylvania Limited with new cars in 1898. Inspired by a private car for the President of Mexico, the train was decorated in a bright red, green and cream paint scheme quickly dubbed "The Yellow Kid." The train hurried between New York and Chicago in style. The bright colors disappeared early in the 20th Century with the introduction of new steel cars. But what if the color scheme stayed? This special set offers a look at what could have been with special features worthy of such a flamboyant paint scheme. The powerful die-cast Berkshire locomotive is equipped with Lionel's new LC+ 2.0 system, giving you both the simplicity of our Bluetooth control and the added features of TMCC. Adding to the fun, an announcement coach plays dialog sequences in concert with the locomotive.
