One of our most popular models has been made even better with the addition of Bluetooth, Lionel Voice Control, bi-color marker lights and selectable horn and whistle options since our last release. New prototypical and fantasy schemes are also available. The last run sold out quickly - don't miss this opportunity! Developed to keep crews ahead of the exhaust fumes which lay thick in the tunnels and snow sheds along its mountain crossings, the Southern Pacific's cab-forward design was as iconic for the railroad as their Daylight passenger trains. The AC-12 class were the last and largest of the type, serving only a few years before diesels replaced steam on the hill. But for their time they were among the most impressive machines to be found anywhere.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-07-15T20:44:36-04:00","created_at":"2021-07-15T20:44:37-04:00","vendor":"Lionel","type":"Steam Locomotive","tags":["3-rail","legacy","lionel","over-1000","pre-order","scale_o","southern-pacific","steam-locomotive"],"price":159999,"price_min":159999,"price_max":159999,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":199999,"compare_at_price_min":199999,"compare_at_price_max":199999,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":40459388977304,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"L-2231191","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Lionel 2231191 -
