Lionel Diesel Engine Model Train Sets

Lionel diesel train sets are the finest, most advanced locomotives - powerful models with tried-and-true performance and cutting edge technology. Over the years, Lionel train sets have revolutionized this great hobby with advances in locomotive traction, train operation and on-board sounds.

Lionel has a broad line of diesel engine model trains making Lionel trains feel more and more like the real railroad. Some of these diesel model train sets include the Santa Fe, Classic FT, Northwest Special Freight... and much more.

With smoke pouring from the stack and the headlight ablaze, the Santa Fe 0-8-0 steam locomotive races through the west pulling a line of heavy duty freight cars. The die-cast 0-8-0 locomotive by Lionel accurately depicts a classic steam engine that was popular on many railroads for both mainline and switcher duties. 

The classic FT diesel locomotive, equipped with realistic sounds from the Lionel TrainSounds sound system, hurtles down the "Route of the Warbonnets." Three streamlined passenger cars-two illuminated coaches and an illuminated observation car-follow the westbound locomotive. 

The Lionel Northwest Special Freight thunders across North America. The powerful GP38 locomotive pulls a boxcar, a hopper, an operating searchlight car, and a caboose.
