O Pere Marquette #1225 Berkshire Steam Loco w/o Tender
In 2004, #1225 became known worldwide as the Berkshire
locomotive featured in the instant-classic Christmas film,
The Polar Express. More than inspiration, blueprints of the
ex-Pere Marquette steam engine and tender were used as
prototypes for the animated locomotive’s design elements,
and actual sounds of the #1225 were utilized in the film.
Additionally, to the delight of the public, the actual #1225
operated on excursions in 2004 with the Pere Marquette
tender repainted “Polar Express”.
Lionel proudly offers a reissue of the scale-sized and accurately
detailed Pere Marquette Berkshire #1225 equipped

and Odyssey II Speed Control. The Pere Marquette locomotive

passenger cars. Add the tender of your choice to this locomotive to complete your package.
