During model railroading's early history, standard gauge tinplate locomotives ruled the day. Immensely appealing for all their color and flash, these giant locomotives consumed vast amounts of real estate in their owner's homes. The call went out to pre-war model railroad manufacturers for smaller model trains. Soon thereafter, O Gauge model railroading was born.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst appearing in 1936, the tinplate 263E steam locomotive replaced the O Gauge 260 engine and was decorated in two colors; blue or gray. The blue versions headed up the tinplate O Gauge Blue Comet passenger cars while the gray version originally headed two versions of 800 series freight sets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday, the 263E returns to the Lionel Corporation Tinplate lineup but just beneath the graceful lines of the tinplate boiler, lies the excitement of Proto-Sound 3.0 whose revolutionary electronics control a smooth-running chassis capable of running at just a few scale miles per hour. Cracking open the throttle and bringing the locomotive forward releases the first blasts of smoke from the engine's stack enhanced with the realistic sounds of chuffing. As the engine picks up speed one notices that each huge puff of smoke is timed to the driver's revolutions. The wail of the whistle and the clang of the bell further stimulate the senses until the realization that the flash and color of yesteryear is but a faded memory when compared to a Proto-Sound 3.0 equipped Lionel Corporation Tinplate locomotive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eStamped steel boiler\u003cbr\u003eStamped steel tender\u003cbr\u003eStamped metal chassis\u003cbr\u003eBaked enamel finish\u003cbr\u003eMetal wheels and axles\u003cbr\u003eOperating metal latch couplers\u003cbr\u003eConstant voltage headlight\u003cbr\u003ePrecision flywheel equipped motor\u003cbr\u003eLocomotive speed control in scale MPH increments\u003cbr\u003eSynchronized puffing ProtoSmoke System\u003cbr\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 with The Digital Command System featuring: passenger station Proto-Effects\u003cbr\u003eUnit measures: 21 1\/2 x 3 3\/8 x 4\u003cbr\u003eOperates on O-31 curves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteam DCC Features:\u003cbr\u003eHeadlight on\/off\u003cbr\u003eBell on\/off\u003cbr\u003eWhistle\/Horn on\/off\u003cbr\u003eStart-up\/Shut-down\u003cbr\u003ePFA initiate and advance\u003cbr\u003eEngine Sounds on\/off\u003cbr\u003eVolume low, med, high, off\u003cbr\u003eSmoke on\/off\u003cbr\u003eForward Signal Sound\u003cbr\u003eReverse Signal Sound\u003cbr\u003eCoupler Slack Sound\u003cbr\u003eGrade Crossing\u003cbr\u003eOne-Shot Doppler on\/off\u003cbr\u003eExtended Start Up\u003cbr\u003eExtended Shut Down\u003cbr\u003eLabor Chuff\u003cbr\u003eDrift Chuff\u003cbr\u003eSmoke Volume\u003cbr\u003eSingle short whistle toot\u003cbr\u003eCoupler Close\u003cbr\u003eFeature Reset\u003cbr\u003eBrakes auto\/off\u003cbr\u003eCab Chatter auto\/off\u003cbr\u003eClickety-Clack auto\/off\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.
