The Lionel Train company is over 100 years old and remains one of the top model train manufacturers in the world. The company's attention to detail is exemplified by its electric models. The steam locomotive offered in this Pennsylvania Flyer Freight Set has a precision can motor, a functioning whistle and headlights. It also has metal wheels and axles, operating brakes and couplers, and the train puffs smoke as it moves down the track.
