The 1862 Civil War "GENERAL"
Locomotive and Rolling Stock

For the first time ever, this famous engine and 3 box cars is offered as a set as it looked on that fateful day in April, 1862, when a band of daring Union agents stole it in Georgia and began what is known today as "The Great Locomotive Chase."

Tender wood pile made of real wood

ModelCrafters Military Trains has taken the brass 1862 Western & Atlantic Railroad "General" and given it a real wood pile and weathered patina. The finish gives a convincing appearance of a train that worked hard and was well loved. The 1862 32’ W&A RR wood boxcars are available finely weathered both outside and inside with wood plank flooring and interior load. There are added real wood features on the trucks and brakemans walkway on the roof.

Scratch built pilot flag

Weathering on stack and boiler front

ModelCrafters is introducing the completely finished engine and 3 box car set for $3850. (3 rail "O" gauge version only)

Since these are limited edition sets and the 2 rail "O" scale version has sold out, you may wish to have ModelCrafters refinish your set as described above. Contact ModelCrafters for a quote.
