Here is a Lionel 6-35481 O Gauge New York Central M-498 Jet Non-Powered Add-On Car. Dubbed the “Black Beetle”, the M-497 jet-powered rail car was a unique experiment in American railroad history. Researching the feasibility of high-speed commuter transportation, the NYC Railroad conducted speed tests in 1966 with a modified RDC passenger car. Through the aid of a B-36 bomber engine strapped to its roof, the M-497 “Black Beetle” was tested and hit a new American speed record of 183 miles per hour.
Early in 2010, Lionel released its own version of the M-497 Jet-powered car. We are now proud to offer a special add-on passenger car that matches the original New York Central jet car paint scheme. Dubbed #498, this passenger car is fitted with side skirts and interior illumination.
