1997 Lionel #2 1950 Santa Fe F3 Diesel Locomotive, Lionel Trains
1997 HALLMARK KEEPSAKE ORNAMENT
QX6145
LIONEL Electric Trains and Christmas just seem to go together! Produced since 1900, the trains are prized by hobbyists and collectors for their exacting detail and historical accuracy.
In 1948, when mighty diesel locomotives were shattering speed records on East and West Coast runs, LIONEL introduced O-gauge reproductions of the famous diesels. The Santa Fe Super Chief, noted for its colorful "warbonnet" paint scheme, soon became a favorite. This ornament carries the number "2343", signifying the model, style and year (1950) best known to collectors. The original 1948 model carried the number "2333".
Second in the Lionel Trains Series.
This ornament is made of die-cast metal
Artist: John "Collin" Francis
