with custom upgrade
It was a time in which the world teetered on the brink of destruction.
The men and women who served in World War II stared pure evil in the face and did not flinch.
Beyond their own bravery and teamwork on the front lines were countless support efforts being carried out within the United States to get them what they needed.
Trains played a vital role. Between Pearl Harbor and V-J Day, America’s Railroads operated 113,891 special troop trains, moving 43,700,000 members of the armed services. This was an average of almost a million troops a month. In addition, millions of tanks, trucks, airplanes, fuel and other supplies that were needed to support such a massive effort were shipped as well.
Lionel pays honor to our Veterans, our Railroads and the spirit that the world witnessed during World War II with our own version of a WWII Troop Train.
Led by an all-new, die-cast steam locomotive, this set captures the essence of WWII.
