EditTurbo Express
(No. 7424)
This was a new addition to TYCO's Turbo sets for 1989
Perhaps one of the most unique examples of the application of the famous Santa Fe warbonnet paint scheme is found on the silver and red Turbo Loco included in this set. The Loco matches the one provided in other TYCO Turbo set, the cars however are unique and different from other Turbos. The set included a Burlington Northern Turbo Box Car, Texaco Turbo Tank Car, Union Pacific Turbo Gondola and Santa Fe Turbo Caboose. An orange cast version of TYCO's 17-piece Bridge & Trestle Set was in the Turbo Express, plus the cardstock Control Tower, Loading Dock, Tunnel/Station, and Freight Crane. The cardstock building items are also unique to this Turbo offering. The track plan built a figure-8. The set was controlled by the hand held slot car-like Controller and wall power pack.
