The TurboTrain was largely the brainchild of one man, Alan R. Cripe. Fresh out of college in the 1950s, Cripe joined the Chesapeake & Ohio’s Train X project. He eventually led the development of plans for a high-speed, diesel powered train with cars that would tilt outward on curves, much like a pendulum, to allow higher speeds on existing track.
New for 2010, M.T.H. introduces the first O scale model of the magnificent experiment that was the TurboTrain. Imagine what might have been, as you run this superbly detailed model in its original U.S. 3-car configuration – or add a car to simulate the trains as they were expanded to meet passenger demand. Its key features are: Two powered locomotives, Non-powered passenger car, Directionally controlled headlights, Intricately detailed ABS bodies, Metal wheels, gears and axles, Die-cast truck sides, Authentic deco scheme, Metal chassis, Metal handrails and decorative horn, Two precision flywheel equipped motors, Lighted marker lights, Two engineer cab figures, 12 passenger figures in each car, Operating smoke unit, Locomotive speed control in scale MPH increments, Proto-Sound 3.0 with The Digital Command System featuring: passenger station Proto-Effects, Unit measures: 50 5/8 x 3 1/2 x 2 5/8, and the set Operates on O-72 curves.
