Unique Lionel® VisionLine UP Challenger Only Available Through LCCA
An exclusive Lionel VisionLine Union Pacific #3975 Challenger never before offered in O scale is available only from the Lionel Collectors Club of America.
This state-of-the art 4-6-6-4 articulated steam engine and 12-wheel oil tender with wireless tethered drawbar has all of the features you expect on a VisionLine train, and more. And when you buy this train from the LCCA you will receive a free one-year club membership or extension, a $49 value.
The LCCA Lionel #3975 VisionLine UP Challenger is painted in the famous Greyhound scheme and represents a unique 1948 experiment when the locomotive was briefly converted to a single-stack arrangement. The engine is Legacy® equipped and can be run with the Universal Remote or LionChief™ app, thanks to its Bluetooth on board. Other features include stack, whistle, dynamo and injector smoke effects from the previous Lionel VisionLine Challenger. This release has additional sound and lighting enhancements and will run on O-72 track. The UP Challenger VisionLine is expected to ship in late spring 2019.
