Product Details

The Harley-Davidsonr 2-8-0 Consolidation freight set is a great way to introduce a newcomer to model railroading. Decorated in classic Harley-Davidsonr colors, this creative adaptation of the 2-8-0 steam engine features a heavy all-metal steam engine boiler and chassis that feels as strong as it runs. The all-metal gears, wheels and axles will ensure a lifetime of fun and the unique sounds of Proto-Sound 2.0 will amaze friends and family alike.

Imagine their faces when the whistle wails or the exlusive Freight Yard Proto-Effects begin playing the classic sounds of Harley-Davidsonr motorcycles loading up at the factory! Of course, seeing the synchronized puffing locomotive pull its three distinctive freight cars with sprung die-cast metal trucks and operating metal couplers is even more impressive and tells all who see it that this is one great set. As with all RailKing Ready-to-Run sets, the 12-piece RealTrax oval assembles in minutes and can be placed right on the carpet for a quick, temporary layout.

Toy trains can be enjoyed by both children and adults.
The earliest toy trains date from the 19th century and were often made of cast iron. Motorized units running on track soon followed, powered by a steam or clockwork engine. Some of these trains used clever methods to whistle and smoke.

Electric trains followed, with the first appearing in 1897, produced by the U.S. firm Carlisle & Finch. As electricity became more common in the early 20th century, electric trains gained popularity and as time went on, these electric trains grew in sophistication, gaining lighting, the ability to change direction, to emit a whistling sound, to smoke, to remotely couple and uncouple cars and even load and unload cargo. Toy trains from the first half of the 20th century were often made of lithographed tin; later trains were often made mostly of plastic.

Prior to the 1950s, there was little distinction between toy trains and model railroads—model railroads were toys by definition. Pull toys and wind-up trains were marketed towards children, while electric trains were marketed towards teenagers, particularly teenaged boys. It was during the 1950s that the modern emphasis on realism in model railroading started to catch on.

Many modern electric toy trains contain sophisticated electronics that emit digitized sound effects and allow the operator to safely and easily run multiple trains on one loop of track.
