Ranger 216 is gearing up for the 2007 train set. The new set is not for sale yet. This time we are going back in time with "The General." During the Civil War The General was stolen by Northern spies led by James J. Andrews at Big Shanty (now Kennesaw), Georgia, and abandoned north of Ringgold, after being pursued by William Allen Fuller and the Texas. Low on water and wood, the General eventually lost steam pressure and speed, and slowed to a halt two miles north of Ringgold, where Andrews and his raiders abandoned the locomotive and tried to flee. Later, the General narrowly escaped destruction when General John Bell Hood ordered the ordnance depot destroyed as he left Atlanta on September 1, 1864. This set will have at least one passenger car this time around. The new set will come in the same metals as before. When sales begin, you can request the same metal and set number as you had previously.
