The discovery of gold in California precipitated the Gold Rush of 1849 and forever changed the West. In just over a decade, California was transformed from a sleepy paradise of 14,000 souls to a state with over 300,000 inhabitants. Nearly a century later, the Golden State still had the aura of the Promised Land, and three railroads teamed up in 1937 to inaugurate a train named after the event that started it all. Hauled between Chicago and San Francisco by the Chicago \u0026amp; North Western, Southern Pacific, and Union Pacific Railroads, the Forty-Niner was a way to arrive at the Coast in style. Operating on a 49-hour schedule, the train featured its own dedicated air-conditioned, streamlined, all-Pullman trainset, with valet and stewardess services as well as a shower and a barber shop. The entire train was finished in gunmetal grey, accented by black and gold striping above and below the windows.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey Features:\u003cbr\u003eIntricately Detailed, Die-Cast Boiler and Chassis\u003cbr\u003eIntricately Detailed, Die-Cast Tender Body\u003cbr\u003eColorful Paint Scheme\u003cbr\u003eDie-Cast Locomotive Trucks\u003cbr\u003eHandpainted Engineer and Fireman Figures\u003cbr\u003eReal Tender Coal Load\u003cbr\u003eMetal Handrails and Whistle\u003cbr\u003eMetal Wheels and Axles\u003cbr\u003eRemote-Controlled Proto-Coupler\u003cbr\u003ePrototypical Rule 17 Lighting\u003cbr\u003eConstant Voltage LED Headlight\u003cbr\u003eOperating LED Firebox Glow\u003cbr\u003eOperating Tender LED Back-up Light\u003cbr\u003ePowerful Precision Flywheel-Equipped Motor\u003cbr\u003eSynchronized Puffing ProtoSmoke System\u003cbr\u003eLocomotive Speed Control In Scale MPH Increments\u003cbr\u003eWireless Drawbar\u003cbr\u003eOnboard DCC\/DCS Decoder\u003cbr\u003eNear-Scale Proportions\u003cbr\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 With The Digital Command System Featuring Passenger Station Proto-Effects\u003cbr\u003eUnit Measures: 20 1\/4 x 2 1\/2 x 3 3\/4\u003cbr\u003eOperates On O-31 Curves \u003cbr\u003eSteam DCC Features:\u003cbr\u003eF0 Head\/Tail light\u003cbr\u003eF1 Bell\u003cbr\u003eF2 Horn\u003cbr\u003eF3 Start-up\/Shut-down\u003cbr\u003eF4 PFA\u003cbr\u003eF5 Lights (except head\/tail)\u003cbr\u003eF6 Master Volume\u003cbr\u003eF7 Front Coupler\u003cbr\u003eF8 Rear Coupler\u003cbr\u003eF9 Forward Signal\u003cbr\u003eF10 Reverse Signal\u003cbr\u003eF11 Grade Crossing\u003cbr\u003eF12 Smoke On\/Off\u003cbr\u003eF13 Smoke Volume\u003cbr\u003eF14 Idle Sequence 3\u003cbr\u003eF15 Idle Sequence 2\u003cbr\u003eF16 Idle Sequence 1\u003cbr\u003eF17 Extended Start-up\u003cbr\u003eF18 Extended Shut-down\u003cbr\u003eF19 Labor Chuff\u003cbr\u003eF20 Drift Chuff\u003cbr\u003eF21 One Shot Doppler\u003cbr\u003eF22 Coupler Slack\u003cbr\u003eF23 Coupler Close\u003cbr\u003eF24 Single Horn Blast\u003cbr\u003eF25 Engine Sounds\u003cbr\u003eF26 Brake Sounds\u003cbr\u003eF27 Cab Chatter\u003cbr\u003eF28 Feature Reset\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.
