Gauge: Traditional O Gauge Minimum Curve: O-27 Dimensions: Length: 7 1/2" Condition: Good. Working. Missing blow horn at top middle. RUNS VERY WELL! A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY The 41 United States Army Transportation Corp Gas Turbine Switcher was produced for three years in the mid 1950s. These small locomotives -- generally referred to as Motorized Units -- are loosely design after real-life gas turbine switchers of the 1950s. Lionels model, similar to the real-life version, was small and had limited pulling power. On average, it could only pull two or three freight cars. Lionel only offered the 41 as a separate sale item and never in a set. Weight 1 lb. 13 oz. Added 2 more pictures (last 2) since the 1st few photos didn't show bottom and side so well.Thank you and
