2006 Keepsake Ornament (11th in Series)  (SL)
     Union Pacific Veranda Turbine Locomotive Lionel^â Train

As the famous behemouths of the steam era were retired, the Union Pacific continued to reach for higher horsepower and greater efficiency. The railroad experimented with powerful turbine locomotives. One design featured sheltered walkways along the sides, allowing train and maintenance crews easier access to the internal components. Because these locomotives appeared to have covered porches, the name of this new turbine class became obvious: Veranda. The powerful Verandas hauled freight until they were retired in the late 1960s. Although this eleventh-in-series authentic Lionel^â Electric Trains detailed miniature die-cast-metal model locomotive has not to date been reproduced by Lionel^â it features the prototypical colors and trim, and revolving wheels and axles, and can be used as a Christmas ornament or fits perfectly on N-gauge track.
