Interplanetary Train with Stamped Lettering

This is an uncataloged set and unknown as to how many were distributed/sold. The majority of the lettering and graphics on this train were stamped. This set is similar to one previously produced by Kusan in the United States. A prototype reportedly exists for this set. Additionally, an American made KF-139 Interplanetary Train was purportedly found at the factory in Mexico. Photos courtesy of the G. Clarke collection.

There are two male electrical connectors on the rear of the locomotive for attaching Dynamic Injection Compressortron wiring. Unlike the American version, there is no speed control lever protruding through the roof. There is an oval "Juguetes Kusan Mexicanos" decal under the chassis.

Two female electrical connectors on the wires plug into the rear of the Alco locomotive. A motorized blower inside the gray superstructure keeps a "satellite" suspended in air as it travels around the layout. Two male electrical spade connectors protruding from the rear can accept wiring from a trailing searchlight car.
