From Me: I've got this train set out of the box and on my tracks. The locomotive is ... The cars are ... The caboose is ... This set comes with brass track, an oval. I'll sell you the track for a good price. This train set sold in the Loblaws chain of grocery stores for $?CAD, from 1998 November till they were out of stock.

Text on the box:

In honour of the 15^th anniversary of the Insider's Report, President's Choice pays homage to another great North American tradition: the Camelback Steam Locomotive. Prevelent from the 1850's to the early 1900s, these mighty haulers were to transport American iron ore into Canada and Canadian timber to the U.S., contributing to the growth of trade between two developing soveregn nations. Camelbacks made regular north-south runs on the Deleware & Hudson railroad and precipitated the expantion of internationsal railroad lines, including the Lake Louis & Province and the Montreal & Lachine.

The unique design of the Camelback engine (also known as "mother Hubbard") was the direct result of the special requirements of the hard coal fuel they utilized. Large volumes of air were required to produce efficient combustion, necessitating unusually large fireboxes and a center cab position.

Modeled after this original trailblazer, this faithful reproduction of this vintage engine is painstakingly detailed. The locomotive has a functioning smokestack with an on/off switch to enable operation of the engine with or without smoke. Authentically styled cars included in the set are: tank car, cattle car, ventilated fresh produce car, skeleton log car with real timber logs secured with metal chains and a commemorative caboose, decorated with our unique markings. This set is available as a limited edition only to enhance its collection value.

Comapatible with all HO scale model electric train sets, including our entire PC Collector's Series range, the PC Camelback Express Train Set is a welcome addition to your collection, or the perfect gift for any train lover.
