Blue Comet 400E Steam Locomotive
QX8166
The LIONEL Company had the cooperation of the Jersey Central Railroad when building its 1930s replicas of the famous Blue Comet, the fast express train that ran from New York to Atlantic City. In remarkable detail, LIONEL designers and engineers captured the long, low lines, the beauty of design, and the mechanical precision -- even the two-tone color -- of the 400E. Proud LIONEL owners bragged that this was the biggest, most powerful, most beautiful model locomotive ever built.

The carefully detailed tender was heavily embossed and featured twelve wheels in two six-wheel trucks. It clearly lived up to the company's slogan "The trains real railroad men buy for their boys, because Lionel Trains are true-to-life."
