Modern B&O train



This B&O train is run by a GP9 diesel (Lionel 28514, blt. 2000). It is nice running diesel that pulls long trains and still runs smoothly. It has a horn which sounds a bit like a door chime. In tight curves its wheels will sometimes slip. It pulls a 9130 covered hopper (blt. 1970), a 9701 double door box car (blt. 1972), a Sentinal box car (from boxcar set #3, 1996), a 9783 Timesaver box car (blt. 1977), a 26042 Gondola (blt. 2003) and a 26570 red caboose (blt. 2002). All nice cars that run great. The hopper cover must have been added during the years, because it was originally sold without a cover.
