Here is a Lionel 627 Vintage O Gauge Lehigh Valley 44 Ton Diesel Locomotive #627. Introduced in 1956, the 44-tonner was used by Lionel in several O27 starter sets in the late 1950s. While being drastically out of scale compared to the actual prototype, the 44-tonner is nonetheless a unique addition to the Lionel line. The 625 Lehigh Valley was the first of the series. It features a single motor with Magnetraction, 3-position E-unit, decorative bell & horn, die-cast side frame trucks and two operating couplers. It has an unpainted red plastic body with horizontal white stripes on both sides and a black painted frame.
