Research indicates this Rivarossi-made
steam locomotive model arrives in 1969. AHM's 1977 catalog features the Casey Jones 4-6-0 with a retail of $54.98, by the
1980 catalog has the engine listed for $69.98. The Casey Jones model is not found in AHM's 1980s catalogs. Catalog information
notes a unlettered black version was offered, in addition to Arcade & Attica and Illinois Central releases.
In addition to this HO-scale replica,
AHM also featured the Casey Jones engine in the company's 1970s O-scale collection. The large Casey Jones release
could be bought R-T-R (No.7201BU); plus as a two-part kit (No.7201 loco and No.7201M motorizing kit).
The first two AHM parts diagrams (on left) show the Casey Jones from its 1969 release. The next
two pages (on right) show the design used for the 1975 issue of this model. You may click on any image above to open a larger
