Our take on the Union Pacific GP38 5pc Set

A five-piece wooden freight train built around a Union Pacific GP38 diesel, with four 3-inch cars: a Burlington Northern tanker, a Santa Fe hopper, a Union Pacific boxcar and a Union Pacific caboose. The mix of three railroads gives it the look of mixed freight service rather than a single-line consist. It suits young railfans and families building a wooden railway who want a recognizable North American freight train. Against plain starter sets it offers more cars and a road-switcher locomotive, but the cars are short and the set is small next to larger wooden train collections.
