Yeah on inauguration week it ran away down the grad and plowed through Union Station, destroying the station masters office and doing more serious damage to the station. Luckily no one was killed in the incident.
When my son was younger I took him to a train show and they had the big Lego setup for trains and we inquired about what it would take to join I was at a pivotal point to either invest into more Lionel or invest in what my son wanted which was Lego train so we inquired and we were basically told if we didn't have anything it wasn't worth the time to invest in it by a club member.. my kid was crushed because he really liked the Lego trains... So we stayed with Lionel... Much better choice
Wasn’t 4876 the one involved in the 1953 Washington Union station derailment?

That’s a relief, as the TTTE narrators would say: “Luckily, no one was hurt”
