Goodbye steam, hello diesel! As Americans bought cars in record numbers in the 1950s, railroads tried to lure back passengers with luxurious, `futuristic` diesel trains. Though fictional, our Hornet train was influenced by many of these classic mid-century diesel locomotive designs. Its tin artwork mimics the Norman Rockwell style of 1950s American train ads. Each Deluxe Board Game Train Set includes: 48 beautiful, highly-detailed plastic trains, 1 stackable score marker, 1 metal tin with original artwork by artist Julianne Griepp.
