Built originally as a mining line, the scenic value of the Durango & Silverton was quickly recognized in passenger service. After surviving natural disasters, wars, and financial instability, a determined staff (and starring roles in several Hollywood movies) promoted the tourism that ensures the line's survival to this day. Now recognized as a National Historic Landmark and a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, the Durango & Silverton continues to provide year-round tourist service. Our Durango & Silverton passenger set comes complete with:
• DCC-ready 2-8-0 locomotive and tender with operating headlight • factory-installed 8-pin socket ready for DCC decoder installation of your choice • open excursion car • old-time combine • old-time coach • 47″ x 38″ oval of snap-fit E-Z Track® including 12 pieces of curved track, 1 piece of straight track, and 1 curved plug-in terminal rerailer • power pack and speed controller • illustrated instruction manual
