I have longed loved trains of every sort, but only one is truly my most favorite. The Pioneer Zephyr. The real one was built in the very early 1930's. The bodies of the train set were constructed of stainless steel. It had a diesel engine. It consisted of three very distinct cars. One being both engine and RPO. The opulence and luxury was extremely amazing. She could do 110 plus mph. Nothing on the tracks even came close. She looked very futuristic and indeed science fiction like. Anyone living near the tracks saw her and were totally amazed by the lack of driver arms and steam. So common during this time period. The Zephyr looked like the Worlds Fair on wheels. Sleek, fast, futuristic. A true first train set. The Lionel version of this most beautiful train set very nearly replicates the exact real train set. Each car plus locomotive/RPO are replicated in a chrome like metal finish. Each fetal is there. From that now classic front end to the bell on top, along with four exhaust stacks to the end obsevation car. The set has sound and lighting. There are passengers inside the cars. She runs on 72 inch curve or greater. She will work with both conventional or more advanced transformers. Just follow directions when setting her up. Each car connects via a clip and a tab. Both the lead truck of the locomotive and the trailing truck of the observation car are powered. She looks very realistic. Lionel did a great job on this set. That shiny chrome like finish really stands out. I highly recommend this set of you can find one in new or near new condition. Set up is fairly basic and quite easy for those familiar with Lionel products. Overall, I give five stars to this product.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Read full review
