Our take on the Metra F40 3pc Set (2017)

A wooden three-piece train modeled on Metra's Chicago commuter service: an F40 diesel locomotive, bi-level Passenger Coach #2003 and Cab Car #8447. It recreates the push-pull setup, so a child can run the train from either end. The pieces are handcrafted with non-toxic paints and fit Brio, Thomas Wooden Railway and other major wooden track systems. It suits young railfans and Chicago-area families, and it stands out from generic wooden trains by modeling a specific commuter railroad rather than a fantasy engine.
