This is a Schiling 44245 Lionel Rail Zeppelin. The Rail Zeppelin was a famous German train that resembled the giant Zeppelin air ships. It was 85 feet long and propelled by a propeller! Although it did not pull any cars, in 1931 it set a new railway speed record by achieving a speed of 142.9 mph for 20 km. This tin replica is great as a floor toy or to run on O gauge track. Just insert the key, wind it up and off it goes.
