Lionel No. 2276W Budd Commuter Set is a realistic replica of Rail Diesel Cars (RDC) made
by the Budd Company for B&O commuter service.
Lionel’s set of Budd RDC commuter cars is built to run on either “O” or “O27” track. The
lead car is powered by a single worm-drive motor driving two magne-traction axles. All the
cars in the set are illuminated, and all the cars carry exciting colors and markings of the B&O
and real Budd Company insignia.
LIONEL “MAGNE-TRACTION”
The powered locomotive is equipped with “Magne-Traction” which means that its driving
wheels are magnetized by powerful Alnico magnets inserted in the driving axles in order
to grip the track and enable the locomotive to pull heavier loads and climb steeper grades
without slipping on the track. Be careful not to let pins, paperclips, carpet tacks or other
small iron objects come in contact with the locomotive or they will be attracted to the wheels,
gears, or axles and interfere with the action of the locomotive. NOTE: “Magne-Traction” is
not effective on aluminum, brass or other non-magnetic rails. The powered locomotive also
includes two traction tires, which will improve traction on both magnetic and non-magnetic
rails.
