You’re in charge with the Rail Master train set by Life-Like from Walthers. This delightful beginner set features a big 45 x 38″ 114.3 x 96cm Power-Loc track oval, that you can set up on any surface, even carpet. Ready to roll down the tracks is a diesel locomotive followed by two freight cars and a caboose. The UL-listed power pack with forward and reverse lets you control the action. Signs, utility poles and illustrated instructions are included.
An F40PH Santa Fe Diese with working headlight leads the way.
A variety of street and highway signs add to the fun.
Your Own Railroad
Pretend you’re the owner of a freight railroad with this colorful set. Dressed up in its Santa Fe best, the diesel locomotive has a working headlight and plenty of power to pull its two-bay hopper, refrigerator car and caboose around the tracks. Adding to the action are utility poles with transformers and lots of signs that you decide where to place. The easy-to-use power pack lets you send the train forwards or backwards plus you control the speed. And, it’s fast and easy to situate your train correctly on the tracks with the terminal rerailer so you’ll be able to start your adventure right away.
You’re the Engineer
Get together with family and friends to operate this fun train. Who gets to be the engineer sitting in the driver’s seat and who gets to sit back in the caboose keeping track of the loads yet to be picked up? Imagine the train roaring through the deserts of Nevada or along the coastline of the Pacific Ocean. This train has places to go and it’s all up to you or your friends to decide where and when. This set is only the beginning of a lifelong adventure with trains.
Easy Set Up Anywhere
Set up your train in no time with the durable Power-Loc track that snaps together instantly and locks securely. The attached roadbed means you can put your layout anywhere, even on the living room carpet. This is a great set for beginners ready to start off on the right track to railroad fun.
What’s In The Box?
Power-Loc track oval, F40PH diesel locomotive, two-bay hopper, refrigerator car, 8-wheel caboose, 38 railroad signs, 24 street and highway signs, 6 utility poles, pair of extra couplers, illustrated instructions, Beginner’s Guide to Model Railroading.
This HO-gauge train set includes a bright-yellow Union Pacific diesel locomotive, two freight cars, a caboose, and a 45-by-36-inch oval track that’s more than enough to get the train up to top speed. For nighttime runs, the engine has a working headlight to guide its way. Tracks attach easily, and the transformer control box, which is simple enough for the youngest engineers to operate, sends the train forward or in reverse around the track. Also included is a 32-page guide that lists over one hundred tips for railroad building, easy setup directions, and HO-gauge products that are available. Because setup takes only minutes, this little railroad is the perfect start for the beginning engineer and model railway buff. –Lee Strucker

Really great train! I bought this train for my six-year old grandson. He fell in love with my husband’s old N Gauge train, one that had the tracks that had to fit together perfectly, and one that gave a small shock from the transformer if it wasn’t together properly. I worried that he would end up hurt on the thing, plus I wasn’t thrilled at putting it together all the time – really hard to get the track to work. So when I saw this one that had an easy-put-together track and yet still had all the capability of…
Perfect to test scale or HO toys with kids Scale model trains generally aren’t hands-on toys, especially for smaller children. They’re fragile and they can easily fail to work and break irrepairably. They can also be very costly in purchase price and in the investment of time and materials put into building a layout. I won’t extol all the virtues of model railroading but obviously it includes art in the scenery, science in the electrics and electronics, social science and even economics in modeling society and industry. So they are…
