POSTWAR STEAM LOCOMOTIVES
60 WORDS

Oooops!  There's a typo I missed!  Applioed?  Sorry!

 

  1. The (LIONEL) Nos. 671 and 2020 models of the (PENNSYLVANIA) 6200 (TURBINE) were among the first locomotives to use Lionel’s new (SMOKE) (PELLETS).
  2. (AMERICAN) (FLYER) locos had their smoke units mounted (S-I-T), smoke-in-(TENDER), or (S-I-B), smoke-in-boiler.
  3. The 1946 No. 726 (BERKSHIRE) came with a hinged (BOILER) (FRONT), (TURNED) handrail stanchions and a die-cast (PILOT) without a simulated (COUPLER).
  4. The No. 773 (HUDSON) of 1950 used the same movable (ORNAMENTAL) (BELL) and hinged door as the 726, but avoided the Berk’s (PLUG) and (SOCKET) E-Unit arrangement.
  5. Gilbert’s “(CHALLENGER)”, a 4-8-4 (NORTHERN), produced that great flyer (CHOO-CHOO) sound.
  6. Lionel favored the 2-4-2 (COLUMBIA) type loco for their (SCOUT) and starter sets while Flyer preferred the 4-4-2 (ATLANTIC) for entry level offerings.
  7. The A.F. (K-FIVE) 4-6-2 (PACIFIC) is a more accurate model than Lionel’s No. 675 O-gauge 2-6-2 or either the Nos. 2025 or 2035 O27 2-6-4’s.  But maybe kids didn’t notice since the Pennsy only built (TWO) real locomotives of that type.
  8. The No. 675’s (BALDWIN) (DISC) drivers gave way for (SINTERED)-iron wheels in 1952, yet the locomotive did not receive (MAGNETRACTION).
  9. The 1957 No. 746 (NORFOLK) & (WESTERN) model of a (CLASS-J) was the last of the great Lionel postwar steamers.
  10. The original hand-made model of what became the 746 had a separately (APPLIED) (HANDRAIL) on it’s bullet-shaped nose that Lionel omitted.
  11. (WHISTLE) tenders like the Nos. 2046W and 2671WX had a water (SCOOP) underneath.
  12. The A.F. No. 300AC’s tender was lettered for both the (READING) Railroad and American Flyer.
  13. The buzz of the 2 or 3 (POSITION) (E-UNIT) (LEVER) (REVERSE) mechanisms is a fond memory for baby boomers.
  14. Flyer’s (ROYAL) (BLUE) streamlined 4-6-2 (an S-gauge revamp of a prewar O-gquge loco) became the red No. 353 for the 5002T (CIRCUS) Train Set.
  15. Like the 2-4-2, the 2-6-2 (PRARIE) type was the motive power for many Lionel (LINES) O27 starter sets.
  16. The No. 1665 of 1946 is perhaps the most sought-after postwar steam (SWITCHER).  It’s No. 2403B die-cast (SLOPE-BACK) tender featured a ringing bell and a (BAKELITE) coal pile.
  17. With their (CAST) boilers, flashing (RODS), glinting marker light (JEWELS), flag (STANCHIONS) and beaming headlights, postwar steamers were the stuff dreams were made of.  Just as advertising featuring the No. 1872 (GENERAL) suggested.
