How cool is this?
Here is a neat Lionel motorized unit. This Maintenance of Way inspection car has that EARLY ERA look that is stylish and would look great on
You are looking at a Lionel Early Era Inspection Vehicle that runs on rails to work on the railroad, in new condition, with all paper and the original box. This one is really neat--you can run in with your Lionel Trainmaster Command Control OR in your standard CONVENTIONAL analog mode--whatever works for you.
This one carries the Santa Fe Warbonnet / Chief livery. Too cool.
This vehicle runs on its own--put it on the track, give it juice, and watch the crew car roll down the track, taking the inspectors to work! This is the perfect addition to your Lionel layout, Maintenance of Way collection or train collection.
These early era track inspection vehicles are geared to be realistiv when running. They will not zoom like a slot car. They move at true scale speeds. They have been measured with a high-speed average of around 34 scale mph . With Command control you can even get it down to about 1.5 scale mph. This is obvously slower than many conventional or command locomotives, which commonly reach 60–90+ scale mph (or higher) under similar conditions.

- Command Control equipped – able to run in Command Control Mode TMCC or in Conventional Transformer Control Mode
