Lionel New York Central Freight Set 0-8-0 steam locomotive!

Lionel New York Central Freight Set 0-8-0 (Order Today!)

The Lionel New York Central Freight Set steam locomotive is 0-8-0. Steam locomotives are categorized by their wheel arrangement. The two dominant systems for this are the Whyte notation and UIC classification.

So what does this mean for us? For most of the English speaking world the Whyte notation was used to identify steam locomotives. Each set of wheels were represented with a number. Such as 2-10-2 given to the “Santa Fe” type built by the Santa Fe Railway. The names were given according to region and sometimes for politics the designation was informal.

In European non English speaking countries the UIC classification was used. This designation was for consecutive pairs of wheels or axles and the tag wheels or non-drive wheels were given a capital letter designation. For example the UIC designation 2-C-1 was equivalent to a Whyte 4-6-2 designation.

Great, durable starter set. Pieces are solid and include everything to get started. Most of the starter kit price goes into a high quality engine, cars, connectors and transformer. No additional scenery or additional track. These would need to be additional purchases. If you are planning to keep this for a number of years and is not a "throw away" toy, then this is a good choice. (Robert Erdley)

All Aboard : The Story of Joshua Lionel Cowen & His Lionel Train Company

The Definitive (and Readable) History of Lionel Trains, January 27, 2004

Simply put, Hollander has written and compiled the highest quality, most comprehensive, and most readable book about the history of the Lionel electric train company that has ever been done. I make that claim while scanning my bookcase holding 45 books on electric toy trains, the majority of them dealing with Lionel, indisputably the penultimate brand name in America, at least where toy trains are concerned.

Hollander writes of the origin and the evolution of Lionel trains from their beginning around 1900 through their status at the commencement of the 21st century, including their near death in 1969 and their miraculous resuscitation by the General Mills cereal company in 1970. Don't be alienated by the earlier statement that this is a history book. It is in no way a dry rehashing of facts, dates and dollars such as comprise boring histories. On the contrary, "All Aboard!" is more of a love story, for Hollander is truly in love with his subject, and his excitement in telling us about the Lionel legend carries the reader through the book on wings of delight.

Highly descriptive text leaves us with a wonderful acquaintanceship with Lionel's parent, Joshua Lionel Cohen (who "Americanized" his name to Cowen), shows us the birth of his baby, draws us word pictures of that baby's successes and failures, its grand leaps of inventiveness and its faltering steps of failure in the changing business and economic climate of a century of American enterprise. Along the way, we are presented with copious visual reinforcement (both in color and in black and white) of the story that the text is weaving for us. We see photographs of the movers and shakers of this great company, some of the wondrous trains that they produced, and some of the expert art work that marketed those trains to the boys and fathers (and girls and mothers, too) of 20th century America.

In the Steam Locomotive Era

Two measures of locomotive performance were generally applied. At first, locomotives were rated by tractive effort.

Tractive effort can be roughly calculated by multiplying the total piston area by 85% of the boiler pressure (a rule of thumb reflecting the slightly lower pressure in the steam chest above the cylinder) and dividing by the ratio of the driver diameter over the piston stroke.

However, the Precise Formula Is:

Tractive effort is defined as the average force developed during one revolution of the driving wheels at the rail head. This is expressed as:

Norscot Lionel Caterpillar O Gauge Train Set

Where d is bore of cylinder (diameter) in inches, s is cylinder stroke, in inches, P is boiler pressure in pound per square inch, D is driving wheel diameter in inches, c is a factor that depends on the effective cut-off.

In the US "c" is usually set at 0.85, but lower on engines that have maximum cutoff limited to 50-75%.

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

My husband and I bought this for our 4 year old son for Christmas, and he loves it. I wouldn't recommend it for younger kids normally, but our son has experience with other Lionel trains, and knows they need to be played with carefully. He asked for a Caterpillar Train for Christmas after seeing one at Toys R Us, but after reading online reviews, I decided to get one that would be compatible with our other track and cars. We use the train with Fast Track, which is much more durable than the old metal track. The transformer works smoothly, and it has a nice whistle sound. It comes with 2 high quality die cast Cat crawler loaders to haul on a flatcar. (Neil Ehlers)
