THE STREAMLINERS
50 WORDS

  1. Lionel introduced a model of UP’s “(LITTLE-ZIP)” M10000 train set with it’s (ARTICULATED) cars as the No. 752 in 1934.
  2. The No. 616 (FLYING) (YANKEE) locomotive led (TWO) No. 617 coaches and one No. 618 observation and had (VESTIBULES) similar to those used on the No. 752.  The 1938 catalog lists the model of the (BOSTON) and (MAINE) train set as the No. 267E.
  3. Pictured below set No. 267E was the model of the (UNION) (PACIFIC) Railroad “(CITY) of (DENVER)” streamliner, set No. 299W with a No. 636W (POWER) (CAR), two No. 637 coaches, one No. 638 observation and connecting vestibules.
  4. Introduced in 1935, Lionel’s No. 250E was a model of the (MILWAUKEE) (ROAD)’s magnificent (HIAWATHA) 4-4-2 (ATLANTIC) locomotive.
  5. Perhaps one of the greatest prewar mysteries is why Lionel chose to model the B&M copy of the (ZEPHYR) for their No. 267E set instead of the original Chicago, (BURLINGTON) & (QUINCY) Railroad train as American Flyer did for it’s No. 9900.
  6. Lionel may have planned to release it’s No. 221 (NEW-YORK) (CENTRAL) Railroad Henry (DREYFUSS) -styled (TWENTIETH) (CENTURY) (LIMITED) train before 1946 had it not been for wartime restrictions on toy making.
  7. Only Hafner made a toy even remotely resembling a (SOUTHERN) Pacific “(DAYLIGHT)” locomotive before Lionel’s No. 6-8307 (GS-FOUR) of 1983.  Functioning (MARS) lights came much later.
  8. Lionel had several prewar locomotives wearing the (COMMODORE) (VANDERBILT) name including the No. 264E, but of course none of them had a 4-6-4 “(HUDSON)” wheel arrangement.
  9. The (MARX) No. 635 loco represents the NYC (MERCURY) that served Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit and Chicago as the Nos. 657 & 658 cars attest.
  10. There seem to be two groups of people in the world.  Those who like the (PENNSYLVANIA) Railroad “(TORPEDO)”, which Lionel modeled as the No. 238E, and those who don’t.
  11. (OTTO) Kuhler designed a streamlined shroud and American Flyer modeled it for their No. 556 prewar and No. 350 postwar (BALTIMORE) & (OHIO) RR “Royal Blue” Pacifics with the (CAPITAL) dome logo below the bullet nose.
  12. Whether it be Lionel’s 2333 or Flyer’s Nos. 360-361 (ALCO) PA’s, models of the (SANTA-FE) Railroad (SUPER) (CHIEF) were a must have toy train in postwar America.
  13. Unless you owned a set of cars made by (AMT), you had to wait until 1993 to buy Lionel cars lettered for the California Zephyr to go with your No. 2379 (DRG) F-3’s of 1957.
  14. The MTH No. 30-1699-1 is a model of the (READING) (CRUSADER) of 1937.
