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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEarly 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeatures:\u003cbr\u003e * Die-cast metal trucks\u003cbr\u003e * Interior lighting\u003cbr\u003e * Metal frame\u003cbr\u003e * Detailed overhead vents and louvers\u003cbr\u003e * Silhouettes in windows\u003cbr\u003eGauge: Traditional O Gauge\u003cbr\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003eLength: 16 ½”\u003cbr\u003eRailLine: New York Central\u003cbr\u003eMinimum Curve: O-31\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"C-9: All original; unused; factory rubs and evidence of handling, shipping and factory test run.
