Help ID the origin of this loco | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I just picked up this little engine and tender for a guy locally. It is a remake of the 1960-61 B&O 247. The seller knew it was from a set, but didn't know the set number as he bought it from another guy. It comes with a whistling tender, the set had two box cars, a caboose, fasttrack and the 30w power supply. Can anyone help me identify the set? I've searched Google and can't find anything on it. I just keep finding the original 247.

Nope. That's the 1960-61 version. This one is modern. It's most likely pre-Lionchief, but the set came with fasttrack. Also, note the figurine in the cab. Actually there are two, the engineer and brakeman are present. This is a replica of the 1960 version.

Thank you very much! That's it. It also explains why it was hard to find: "Only at Target". My curiosity has been satisfied!

Before Lionel changed their website, they had some info regarding the set.

go to http://legacy.lionel.com/GettingStarted/

and then click on the "Lionel Train Sets" tab. Somewhere else on the old site was also the two photos at the bottom of the photo I posted.
