Here is an American Flyer Baltimore and Ohio PA ABA set from 1981. These were released separately (AA then the B), but we put them together for you in ONE listing. This set was issued in the Historic American Railroad series.
Did you know there are two primary versions of these diesels? Lionel issiued the first round with the more traditional WORM DRIVE motors; then they were issued in the can motors which became standard. These are the first version. Can motors are quieter, but many collectors prefer the worm drive motors.
Made in the USA.

- worm drive
- 3-position E-unit,
- dual motors,
- Pullmor traction tires,
- powdered metal axle bushings on all wheels
