American Flyer 6-47985 Pennsylvania Flatcar with Piggyback Trailer (TOFC) by Lionel

The trailer on flatcar (TOFC) concept goes back to the 1800s with military and circus wagons loaded on to flatcars.  With the rapid rise of the trucking industry in the 1950s, the railroads saw the potential of the TOFC for the long haul.  Although the interstate highway system was in the planning stages at the time, they had a long way to go before they became a reality.  The TOFC eventually morphed into today’s intermodal form of transporting goods.

Offered is the American Flyer S gauge 6-47985 Pennsylvania flatcar with trailers (TOFC) by Lionel.  It is new in its original box.
