One of the more storied and long-lived locomotives, the New York Central's famous S2 class has a fascinating history. Built in 1906, the last wasn't retired until 1981! Now, Lionel brings this powerhouse back, and for the first time, with some new features and paint schemes representative of their entire storied careers. NYC&HR #3207 shows the look of the S2 class c. 1909 - 1917. This was one of two locomotives involved in a tragic wreck which led to the changes in the S2 design. #113 represents their look from 1936 through the 1940s. By the 1960s, safety yellow began to be applied to handrails and steps as seen on #115. Many of the locomotives kept a similar look into the Penn Central years and some even survived to serve Conrail. Although none ever wore the more elaborate schemes applied to some of the Central's other electrics, our version of #101 represents a fun "what if" portrayal of what these motors could have looked like in the classy "Lightning Stripe" era. The S motors have been a Lionel inspiration for over 100 years. Now, you can have this locomotive for the first time with the latest LEGACY® electronics and a swinging bell feature which moves the bell in time with the sounds!
