Step back into the golden age of rail travel!

I have been fascinated with steam locomotives ever since I was a toddler, spending countless hours playing with my train sets. While this passion has continued for over two decades, it has recently evolved into a fascination with the most iconic luxury passenger trains of the 20th century. This model is my tribute to that era of elegance: a French 241 "Mountain" locomotive, renowned for pulling the most prestigious transcontinental expresses of its day.

Capturing the engine as it appeared in its original 1930s configuration, this model balances intricate display-quality detail with full track functionality. It is designed to navigate standard R40 curves and is ready for electrification using Powered Up or Power Functions.

Powered UP Electrification:
0–2* Powered UP Lights
1–2* Powered UP L Motors
1–2 Powered UP Hub
*Note: Adding a second set of lights and/or a second motor may require extension cable(s) and an additional hub.

Power Functions Electrification:
0–2* Power Functions Lights
1–2* Power Functions L Motors
1 Power Functions IR Receiver
1 Power Functions Battery Box
*Note: Adding a second set of lights and/or a second motor may require extension cable(s) and/or a switch.

This locomotive has been a labor of love, representing over 250 hours of design and refinement to ensure every detail is just right.
