Model train lovers can get on board and order The Pennsylvania Masonic Train in 2001.

The train -- an outstanding bargain at $500 -- is a C-1 Atlantic engine and tender with five uniquely detailed cars and caboose. The "O" gauge, three-rail set is manufactured by Weaver's Models of Northumberland, PA.

The engine and the cars are highly detailed scale models (not semi-scale) that are prototypically correct "miniatures" of the real thing -- right down to the rivets and handrails. The engine and tender are die cast, weigh seven pounds, and the precision mechanisms feature a cam motor and flywheel. The engine features a detailed back head, operating smoke unit, brass detail parts, operating couplers, chemically blackened drivers and mechanism, lit side numbers boards, operating headlight, directional backup, and LED marker lights in the tender. This particular class of locomotive has never been produced before as a three-rail model.

The set is unique for all model train lovers and especially impressive for Masons. All of the cars, including the tender and caboose, are marked with Masonic symbols representing a majority of the organizations that comprise the Family of Freemasonry.

THE MASONIC CHARITIES DEPICTED BY THE LOGOS ON THE MODEL CARS BENEFIT FROM SALES OF THESE TRAINS.
