N Scale Liberty Bell Set
Accepting Pre-Orders thru January 31st
Commissioned in 1752, the Liberty Bell
was placed in the steeple of the Pennsylvania State House, a building known
today as Independence Hall. The bell
cracked on the first ring, and was recast
by local metalworkers John Pass and
John Stow. After being recast it had
nearly 90 years of use before the famous
split appeared in the early 1840’s.
Beginning in the late 1800’s the city of
Philadelphia allowed the Liberty Bell to
travel by rail for display at expositions
across the country. A special train was
assembled by the Pennsylvania Railroad
using Pullman heavyweight cars and a
special flat car on the rear to display the
iconic bell. The Liberty Bell train took
seven journeys between 1885 and 1915 to
New Orleans, Chicago, Atlanta, Charleston, Boston, St. Louis and San Francisco.
*Renderings shown for representation only.
This special historic set will include our
new heavyweight Baggage Car, a Coach
and Observation Car and ends with a
custom Flat Car and Bell. Contact your
local dealer to reserve this set today!

Clover Dairy
The ‘Clover Dairy’ special run set is inspired by one of the most popular names used for a
dairy in the United States. This wide spread use of the clover is likely due to its popularity as a bovine food source and the belief
that it produces the best tasting milk. ‘Clover Dairy’ was selected as an offering for this year’s convention due the proximity of
the historic Clover Hill Farm in nearby Keswick, Virginia which has been in operation since 1790.
