Lionel Columbia Type 2-4-2-Locomotive No. 250 was produced for one year in 1957. Equipped with a three position directional unit whose control lever points down, the motor was mounted in a Type II boiler. Because the boiler is plastic, this engine came with weights in the front and the rear to enhance its tractive effort. This locomotive has a RED ORANGE stripe and heat-stamped lettering on both the engine and the "PENNSYLVANIA" tender. It was equipped with a headlight and headlight lens in the locomotive and the No. 250T tender came with AAR trucks with one disc coupler. This locomotive was designed to work on O27 Gauge track and it will also run on O Gauge track. There are no variations of this locomotive. This could make a great addition to your collection railroad layout or gift for a friend
