THIS IS THE MOST DESIRABLE OF THE LIONEL PYLONS, AND USUALLY THE HARDEST TO COME BY
You are looking at an operating Lionel Red Baron Pylon. This is the famous accessory that goes back to the prewar days; that's right--Lionel made an Airplane Pylon accessory before World War 2.
Lionel brought it back in the late 90's, and they made a string of differently themed pylons for a number of years.
This one was released in 2001 and was an instant classic.
Relive the high drama and heart-pounding action of World War I
dogfights with the all-new Red Baron Pylon. Inspired by real planes used
in the war, including that of the infamous German flying ace, the "Red
Baron," this accessory provides high flying action above your layout.
Specially designed with two pivot arms that travel in sweeping arcs, the
pylon gives the illusion of an all-out chase. Who will win? That's up to
you!
