American Flyer 301 Vintage S Reading 4-4-2 Atlantic Steam Locomotive &Tender VG
Here is an American Flyer 301 Vintage S Reading 4-4-2 Atlantic Steam Locomotive &Tender. This powered steam locomotive features a plastic body, open frame motor, reverse unit, light, and metal wheels. The tender is attached and has tinplate trucks with a rear knuckle coupler. The original tender has been replaces with another American flyer tinplate tender without the Reading Railroad badging and a slightly different body design.
Originally introduced in 1880 in the UK, the "Atlantic" or 4-4-2 would rise to prominence around the world in little to no time after its introduction. Respected and beloved around the world from the United States to Mozambique, the 4-4-2 found itself commissioned in various rail-yards across several continents. In the United States the 4-4-2 would be called the "Milwaukee “due to it running on the Milwaukee rail-road, but most would find that the "Atlantic" just rolled off the tongue a little bit better. In its construction the 4-4-2 saw an advantage over other locomotives thanks to its trailing wheels allowing for a deeper firebox in the driving wheels. Most of the Atlantic models would see their time in the spotlight come to an end, and would eventually go out of commission in the mid-20th century. Today handfuls exist in preservation status in various rail-road museums.
This item has been graded per TCA standards C-6: Very Good based on visual appearance. This item has small spots of rusting on the bottom of the tender and on some of the shiny trim pieces. There are light nicks and scratches on the surface of the shell and chassis of the engine and tender. The wheels show average run-time. The overall appearance of this item may be improved with a gentle and thorough cleaning. The original box is not included. Please check the photos for a detailed look at this item. Overall condition is Very Good.
