The Lionel Alaska Railroad No. 614 Switcher headed up the Alaskan Railroad set in 1959 and was available for one additional year as a separate sale item. This engine used a BLUE body with YELLOW heat-stamped lettering and railroad herald. It came with a YELLOW dynamic brake unit on top of this body, a two position directional unit whose control lever was adjustable from the top, solid non-operating couplers, a sheet metal chassis, and a Type IIG motor with one axle Magnetraction. There is one variation:

Variation B: YELLOW "Built by Lionel" and outline on the front sides of the body. A difficult variation to find.

Lionel issued this diesel for use on O27 gauge track, but it will operate equally well on the larger radius curves of O gauge track.
