The Lionel American Type 4-4-0 Locomotive No. 1872 was a replica of the famous Civil War "General" that has a BLACK chassis, with GUNMETAL colored boiler, RED cab and GREEN No. 1872T tende

Throughout the '50s America's frontier days, and particularly the Civil War and the Old West became a favorite playtime themes for young kids. TV Westerns, Daniel Boone hats, and comic books about the frontier days all contributed to this growing fad. After years of modeling only 20th-century trains, Lionel decided it was time to step back in time, and a 19th-century 4-4-0 steam engine entered the Lionel line. Lionel christened their engine "The General", after a locomotive involved in one of the most thrilling stories from the American Civil War.

In 1956, Walt Disney Studios released The Great Locomotive Chase, a movie about the famous Andrews Raid in April 1862. The story follows an attempt by Union soldiers to hijack a Western and Atlantic passenger train and to wreck the Confederate rail line between Atlanta and Chattanooga. The engine the Union soldiers commandeered was W&A 4-4-0 No. 3, known as The General.
