West Coast Flyer (ID)

==Description==
West Coast Flyer is Hot Wheels' rendition of a sleek streamlined passenger steam locomotive. The casting features some elements inspired by the New York Central Railroad Class J3a 4-6-4 locomotives streamlined by industrialist Henry Dreyfuss.
This casting was modified from the original West Coast Flyer casting initially introduced in the Rapid Transit Series in 2011; the castings appear to largely be identical apart from this rendition having no couplers or the protrusions for the couplers and a raised front pilot. This casting is also notably extremely light, with both a plastic body and base, the only metal portion being a "weight" piece of sorts wedged between the body and chassis. Despite being extremely light the casting features a largely centralized weight distribution.
This casting gained a metal base for its mainline release.
