Lionel 6-30118 O Gauge A Christmas Story Steam Train Set – Model Train Junction: Quality Parts and Art Supplies

Here is a Lionel 6-30118 O Gauge A Christmas Story Steam Train Set. Ralphie’s earnest pursuit of an Official Red Ryder Carbine Action, 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle has hit the rails. New for 2009, this colorful, fun set commemorates one of the most popular Christmas movies of all time, Jean Shepard’s A Christmas Story’ from 1983. The locomotive is an 0-8-0 steam locomotive with smoke and a headlight, and the smoke is synchronized so that it provides one puff of smoke per revolution. The engine shell is die cast metal and the frame of the engine is plastic. The locomotive also has an operating coupler on the front end. This engine has slightly more detail than most Lionel 0-8-0s, with more detailed side rods and an operating coupler on the front end. The tender has a whistle and an operating coupler on the back. The whistle is electronic and uses a speaker mounted inside the tender. The whistle is activated by a button on the transformer. The cars have plastic bodies, die-cast trucks, metal wheels and operating couplers, which can be operated by hand or by using a remote control uncoupling section (available separately). The set features a gondola with crates, appearing to carry the Old Man’s ‘major award’, a ‘Triple Dog-Dare’ boxcar with opening doors, a ‘You’ll shoot your eye out’ boxcar with sliding doors, and a lighted caboose. Various scenes from the movie are pictured on the sides of the boxcars and caboose. However, no ‘Leg Lamp’ is included. The set includes the standard 40 by 60 loop of Fastrack, consisting of eight 36-inch diameter curved sections, 2 10-inch straight sections, a 10 terminal track section, and an automatic uncoupling section, which uncouples the cars automatically and unloads the logs from the operating dump car. The transformer is the 80-watt CW-80 type.
