American 36" Gauge

 
The “American” is a locomotive whose design comes straight out of the history books, based on the two great 4-4-0 Western style locomotives that played such a pivotal part of the “Golden Spike” Ceremony at Promontory Point, Utah in 1869. Available in either live steam or diesel the American will convey up to 320 guests on a track without grade. The passenger coaches speak for themselves and have an authentic wood finish that not only looks realistic but is easy to maintain and clean. The extensive options list means you can truly build the train of your dreams.
