From Me: I've got this train set out of the box and on my tracks. The locomotive is ... The tanker cars are ... The caboose is ... This set comes with brass track, an oval. I'll sell you the track for a good price. This train set was sold in the Loblaws chain of grocery stores for around $100CAD, from 1999 November till they were out of stock. |

Text on the box:
At the turn of the 20th century, the world embrased the very first long haul, high speed steam passenger locomotives, the 4-6-2 Semi-Steamlined Pacific. Its unique wheel configuration, aerodynamic design and more powerful boiler proved to be the answer to passengers' ever growing need for rapid and efficient train transportaion.For forty years, this engineering marvel ruled the railways of the world. As time passed however, these hounourable steam passenger locomotives were replaced by younger and more cost-effective breed of diesel electric locomotives. The 4-6-2 Semi-Steamlined Pacific was sadly relegated to the less glamorous duty of freight service, and ironically helped fuel its successor, and ultimately precipitated its own demise, by sometimes hauling oil.
At thit, the turn of the 21st century, we are proud to commemorate this speed pioneer with our limited collector's edition President's Choice 4-6-2 Pacific Express train set. Only 10,002 sets of this series have been produced. Our faithfully reproduced locomotive is acompanied by 5 tanker cars, a tendercar and a caboose, all specially decorated.
Comapatible with all HO scale model electric train sets, including our entire PC Collector's Series, this set is a welcome addition to any collection.
