Back after a long hiatus from the
catalog and with new road name and
detail variations, the LEGACY 2-8-8-2
is one of the finest models Lionel has
ever produced in S Scale. Stunningly
detailed from pilot to tender, these
locomotives give you the look and
power of a big locomotive but are
still operable on tight curves and
small layouts. And now we’ve made
it even better, adding our popular
whistle steam feature to American Flyer
for the first time!
Based on the USRA standard 2-8-
8-2 design, which was itself largely
derived from the Norfolk & Western’s
Y-3, these locomotives saw service
on railroads across the country, some
second-handedly in later years. Well
suited to heavy drag hauls in the
mountains, the 2-8-8-2s could be
seen in other roles and environments
as well.
Many of the road names offered in
this release are based on the early
USRA designs, including the distinctive
and smaller USRA tender.
