PREWAR LOCOS O
53 WORDS

1. After the factory (FIRE) in 1900, the (IVES) Manufacturing Company started producing (CLOCKWORK) trains that ran on (GAUGE) (ZERO) track.  Previously all Ives trains had been floor runners but now they established “0 Gauge” as a new (AMERICAN) standard.
2. Chico, (<Did you catch that typo?) CHICAGO, later (OVERLAND), and finally in 1910 American (FLYER), made (SPRING) powered O gauge trains to compete with Ives.  In fact, many early Flyer locos have (CAST) (IRON) shells that are very similar in appearance to Ives products.
3. (LIONEL) entered the market in 1915 with (THREE) (RAIL) track using modified Standard Gauge rails and ties for their new line of (ELECTRIC) trains.
4. The (DORFAN) No. 55 was “(DUCO) Finished”, ran on “(NARROW) Gauge” track and cost $9.50 in 1930, or $154.56 in 2021 dollars.
5. Flyer’s New (HAVEN) style model 3107 pulled both the No. 1328 Blue (BIRD) and the No. 1382 Frontenac in 1932.  Of the two, the No. 1328 was perhaps the (BEST) because it came with many accessories.
6. Lionel’s No. 156 (S - CLASS) had a pedestal (HEADLIGHT) in 1917 and a (STRAP) type thereafter.  In 1922 the loco lost it’s trucks and was left with only it’s (FOUR) drivers.  There are 6 known (COLOR) variations among both the six and two (AXLE) 156’s.
7. The pinnacle of prewar O, the (SEVEN) (HUNDRED) EW (SCALE) (HUDSON), was not meant to operate on regular (ROLLED) (STEEL) track.  No, you need T-Rail “Special Model Makers Track” to operate this behemoth.
8. American Flyer’s No. 3115 (BOXCAB) locomotive was the O Gauge version of the No. 4689.  However, the No. 3115 did not have a (BRASS) (EAGLE) like it’s big brother.
9. Lionel’s Nos. 264E, 289E and 1689E locomotives were all (STREAMLINERS) patterned after the New York Central Railroad’s (COMMODORE) (VANDERBILT) Hudson.  Lionel also modeled the Burlington (ZEPHYR), B&M Flying (YANKEE) and the UP’s “Little (ZIP)”.
10. The 260E had a (GROOVE) in it’s running board to make positioning the (TRIM) stripe easier.  In 1930 it had a 2-position pendulum (REVERSE).  1934 saw the trim change to (NICKEL) and in 1935 the (TENDER) became the No. 263W with a (WHISTLE).
11. The charming No. 1681E of the Lionel (JUNIOR) (LINE) was painted (RED) in 1935.  It’s No. 1661T had a (LATCH) coupler but No (JOURNAL) (BOXES).
