Here is a Lionel 218 Vintage O Santa Fe Alco AA Diesel Locomotive Set from 1959-63. The 218 Santa Fe Alco was a common diesel in the Lionel Alco series in the early 1960s. Their five-year production run makes it an easy item to acquire. The 218s were usually produced as an AA unit -- except in 1961 when an AB combination was available in limited quantities. The 218 Santa Fe included one powered unit and one non-powered unit. Standard features on each unit include: silver and red painted body with black lettering plus front and rear non-operating couplers. The powered unit was also equipped with two-axle Magnetraction, three-position E-unit plus a functional horn and headlight. The length of the 218 Alco units when coupled together is approximately 23" long (coupler to coupler).
