[Algonquin]

The following are from Lionel are corrections to their Vol I 2001 Catalog:


The cars shown with the American Flyer 49806 Sawmill and 49807 Seaboard Coaler are sold separately.

14109 Carousel; This accessory will have stairs leading up to the horses, twisted grab poles and colorful artwork in the mirrored areas.

14110 Ferris Wheel; This will have gondola-style seats.

14084 419R Heliport; Operation will be the same as the Postwar version whereas the spool must be hand-wound by the customer prior to launch. An improvement has been made, however, whereas the operation is now controlled electically through a switch, versus the wire pull of the original.

28078 Penn. 2-10-4 will be prototypically numbered 6496, and will be produced in the correct Brunswick Green.

28066 B&O Pacific will be made in prototypical-accurate green and gray livery, not blue as shown. It will be lettered for President Harrison.

28074 Nickel Plate Berkshire will not be produced with Magne-Traction due to the die-cast wheels and nickeled wheel rims.

ALL F-3 B Units will have newly-restored vent detailed added to the sides.

14512 ElectoMotive Division F3 The tow-tone blue and gray paint scheme with black trucks is prototypical for the original F3 demonstrator.

14518 C.P. F3 B-Unit This unit does not have CrewTalk, as these sounds would duplicate those found in the 21758 C.P. Passenger Set.

18343 Penn. GG-1 (black) will be produced as part of the Postwar Celebration Series, not the Archive Collection as stated.

21955 D&RG F3 Passenger Set The first coach in this set will be numbered 1241.

21953 Ford Set the first flat car will sport a 1964 Mustang Convertible in red, not black as shown in the catalog.

28072 NYC J-3A Hudson will be produced with all new tooling, and will sport correct J-3A details.

31916 Santa Fe Freight Set: Box Car will feature a yellow door and Super Chief graphics.

38012 Wheeling & Lake Erie 2-6-5-2 will feature dual air pumps mounted on the boiler front, similar to that of the 28075 C&O and 28076 Nickel Plate.

31902 Penn. K4 Freight Set will be prototypically numbered 3876 and comes equipped with a can motor. The use of smoke deflectors is prototypical. Due to limitations of the conventional RailSounds sound system that is included with the set, consumers must purchase a 22963 Steam RailSounds Upgrade Kit in addition to the 22960 TrainMaster Command Upgrade Kit when upgrading the locomotive to TrainMaster Command Control.
