Description
 
Electric "Electroliner" 4-Car Train Powered
DCC Ready
In February 1941 the first run of Electroliners were advertised as America's first "All Electric Luxury Trains". Their unique design was influenced by the competition between CNWs 400 trains and Milwaukee Road's Hiawathas. Another factor was that the trains had to circumnavigate Chicago's EL tracks in the Loop and run down the middle of Milwaukee city streets. Electroliners were later sold to the city of Philadelphia and renamed Liberty Liners. One train was totally restored and is on exhibit at the Illinois Train Museum in Union, Illinois.
 
Features
  • Comes as Complete 4 Car Train Set
  • Full interior, including motorman. This is possible as we designed the ElectroLiner with a underfloor drive train.
  • Full lighting, and NMRA 8 pin DCC ready plug. (Decoder not supplied with model)
  • --For a Function Decoder you can use a DigiTrax DZ143PS or similar decoder by any other brand.
  • --For a Sound Decoder you can use a DigiTrax SFX004 Soundbug Decoder (we have provided a location for the Speaker to fit upright in the vestibule between the doors of the powered locomotive unit. Or any other brand sound decoder that will fit available space.
  • --However, be advised we do not know of a set of existing Sounds you can use for the ElectroLiner, one of the various Decoder companies may provide some sounds in the future, or you might find some on the Web once the model is released. But so far, we at Con-Cor have been unable to find any Sounds we feel suitable to recommend to you.
  • Lots of underbody detail, even with underfloor drive train.
  • All 4 cars have full interiors and lighting
  • Rubberized diaphrams between each car.
  • Sprung fully operating Trolley Poles (Comes from factory set up for standard 2-rail operation,but by removing locomotive body shell and shifting small slide switch the power pick up chages from 2-rail to overhead.)
  • Reversing headlights
  • We know the HO ElectroLiner will run **(Turquoise and Salmon colors in photo above do not show up well on computer screens), we have used the paint formula for original colors courtsey of Jim Meindl, the ElectroLiner foreman at the Illinois Railway Museum, where a fully restored ElectroLiner resides. Con-Cor even was able to secure a sample of the Seat cloth from the Original ElectroLiner to match on the model.) on 10 inch radius at a slow speed. Depending on quality of your trackwork it will probably run on a tighter radius at slow speeds.
  • Authentic Paint Colors**
