For this train, Lionel reintroduced the classic FT Santa Fe diesel locomotive, complete with the classic “Warbonnet” paint job and the realistic sounds of Lionel’s exclusive TrainSounds sound system. Lionel includes three illuminated, streamlined passenger cars, a CW-80 Transformer, and a loop their improved FasTrack track. A how-to instructional DVD for setting this train up is also included. The sound system includes realistic sounds of the diesel engine, horn, bell, squealing brakes, and even crew conversations. Other features include operating headlight, dual motors, and engineer and fireman figures. You also receive enough track to make a 40″x60″ oval.

This is one of trains that made Lionel “the standard” for toy trains over a half-century ago, and it isn’t available very often.

The El Capitan is easily the best of Lionel’s line of O-27 compatible train sets, includes everything you need to get started. What’s in the box? One EMD FT diesel locomotive cab unit in the iconic Santa Fe Warbonnet paint scheme (all wheels are powered, and includes Lionel’s own TrainSounds). Three individually-numbered passenger coaches, with interior lighting just like the real El Cap. A huge oval of Lionel Fastrack (ideal for setting up around the Christmas tree, or year-round if desired). 80-watt transformer/train controller with separate bell and horn buttons, enough juice to run the train set without fear of an overload

If you’re interested in Lionel trains, I highly recommend this set as a start. You will not be disappointed, and never let the price dissuade you when it comes to a quality toy train.
