I think this train was so cool and a great PR idea. This train traveled across the country promoting Rexall Drug store products. Did anyone make in three rail? Don

MTH released the set in 2007 Volume 2 Catalog shows the engine and a search on the MTH Product locator shows the passenger cars in singles and sets.
A Dr. should write a script for this train!
Bobbie was it Railking or Premier? Don

Scott beat me to it
Don the entire set was done in Railking
Shoot! It would make a nice Scale train. It ran in every state except Nevada. Don
I agree with you Don, The paint scheme dose not look right on a RK engine. But, the real one was cool.
Unfortunately, the Rail Kink version of the engine was a little Hudson. The real Rexall train was a Mohawk (a Mountain type to you non NYC guys) I've seen some movies of the train in my old hometown of Fond du Lac, WI, taken many years before I would have even known what a train was. Like the engine that it was styled to look like, the original Commodore Vanderbilt, it was an older engine that was sheathed up to be streamlined. I agree with Don in that a scale, Premier locomotive would really have been a nice presentation. Hmmm! I wonder if a guy could take one of Lionel's Commodore's and put it on a 4-8-2 chassis?
