2006 Keepsake Ornament  (SL)
     Union Pacific Veranda Tender

The turbine era on the Union Pacific began in 1948 with an experimental, one-of-a-kind locomotive. Other powerful turbine locomotives followed. They burned Bunker C fuel oil, a lower-cost alternative to diesel fuel. Inside the turbine engine, expanding gases were directed at the blades of the turbine, causing them to rotate and generate electricity for the traction motors. The loud, powerful Verandas hauled freight until they were retired in the late 1960s. Although this authentic detailed miniature die-cast-metal model has not to date been reproduced by Lionel^� it features prototypical colors, revolving wheels and axles, articulated leading and trailing trucks, and can be used as a Christmas ornament or fits perfectly on N-gauge track.
