The Story During the 200th anniversary of our nation’s birth, The American Freedom Train was created as a celebration of everything that shaped our country. This 25-car train crossed the United States displaying 500 artifacts gathered from museums around the nation. At the end of the two years, 1975 -1976, the train had traveled 25,833 miles, was displayed in 138 cities and was seen by millions! It was celebrated as a moving monument. It was because of the American Freedom Train that steam engines like the SP’s 4449 were given a new life! A detailed story of the train can be seen at www.freedomtrain.org. The video story has amazing detail of this great train from it’s inception to creation, and ultimate fulfillment of the dream.
Lowell Smith Signature Series is excited to bring you this amazing train which will be released over a period of approximately two years. Companies like Micro-Trains and Walthers are being commissioned to produce this star-spangled beauty! As you may know, or will find out, each “Display Car” has unique design and graphics depicting our nation’s history. These along with the sleepers and coaches will be released in two packs, expecting to keep the price under $99 for two cars. The three flat cars, along with their special loads, will be produced by Micro-Trains. Each of these cars, as well as the “Showcase Cars”, are expected to be priced under $99 each. This will be a limited edition set with the first release expected in February 2012. Now you can have a train behind your new Kato locomotive! See special offer above for the American Freedom Train’s 4449 steam locomotive.
