| THE 499 NH ELECTRIC IS VERY POPULAR TO
THIS DAY. IT WAS INTROGUCED IN 1956, AND FEATURED A
QUALITY PUL-MOR MOTOE, AIR CHIME WHISTLE, TWIN
HEADLIGHTS, AND MOVABLE PANTIGRAPHS. |
 |
| THE 21573 NEW HAVEN CAME INTO VIEW A
YEAR LATER AND EAS ESSENTIALLY IDENTICAL BUT THE AIR
CHIME WHISTLE WAS DROPPED AND A NO-STIC, 3 STEP REVERSE
WAS SUBSTATUTED FOR THE STANDARD THREE STEP FELLOW, |
| THE 740 HANDCAR WAS SOLD QUITE
EXTENSIVELY- AND WITH A LITTLE ADJUSTMENT- WORKS EXTEMELY
WELL. THIS ITEM WAS ALSO FEATURED IN SEVERAL NOVEL WAYS. |
 |
| THE 742 REVERDING HANDCAR WAS AN
UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO COPY LIONEL'S BUMP AND GO
MECHANISM- ALL THE HANDCAR DID WAS BUMP AND NOT GO!!! BUT
IT IS A HARD TO FIND COLLECTORS ITEM! |
| THE 24743 ,AINTENANCE CAR WAS AN ATTEMPT TO MIMICK
THE SUCCESS LIONEL HAD HAD WITH ITS 50 GANG CAR. THIS
ITEM , HOWEVER, DID NOT HAVE THE BUMP AND GO MECJANISM AS
DID THE LIONEL AND HEREFORE WAS NOT POPULAR. CLEAN
EXAMPLES IN CLEAR-PAK CAN STILL BE FOUND. |
