New York Central Railroad

New York Central Railroad (NYC) in the Thirties a name of importance in the American world of railroading. At that time, a New York dealer ordered several 0 Gauge locomotives in a white paint scheme, presumably inspired by the light external design of the newly introduced, ultramodern NYC streamliner trains such as the "Twentieth Century Limited", a 5-star hotel on rails for the beautiful and rich. The impressive Swiss locomotive legend for no less famous train legends of the great railroad company of its home town might have been a quite personal American Dream. More than just this dream can be dreamed again with the new 1 Gauge Crocodile in the light-colored NYC outfit.
