GM toured it across the country and loaned it to railroads including Santa Fe, New York Central, Pennsylvania, Rock Island and Union Pacific for testing in 1956 and 1957. It never caught on, but its styling made it one of the most recognizable trains ever built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) LWT12 locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Aerotrain coaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Observation car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eN scale (1:160)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer SKU: 0001-008761\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory new, in original packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady to run on DC, with an 8-pin NMRA socket for adding DCC and sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-pole skew-wound motor with dual flywheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed cab interior with two painted crew figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed car interiors with LED interior lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversing headlights and observation car backup lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiaphragms between cars and electrical pickup on all cars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWant a longer train?
