The
American Freedom Train by MTH
In 2001, MTH announced their Premier line Daylight locomotive and a matching set of five cars would be offered in AFT colors.
The announcement came in a special catalog released not long after 9/11 and included an offer for a special boxcar, profits from which would be donated to a nonprofit organization established to aid the NYC Fire, Police, EMS and other city employees involved in search and rescue. |

American Freedom Train GS-4 Auxiliary Water Tender In their 2003 Vol 1 Catalog, MTH announced a water tender to match their Premier AFT GS-4 locomotive, based on the water tender that currently runs with the real Daylight locomotive, though it has never had this color scheme. The "Let's Roll" lettering and flag are authentic and have appeared on the real tender. They refer to Todd Beamer's last audible words in a call from United Flight 93, September 11, 2001.
