American Flyer 300 Vintage S Reading 4-4-2 Atlantic Steam Locomotive & Tender VG

Here is a powered American Flyer 300 Reading 4-4-2 Atlantic Steam Locomotive and Tender. Features include a metal construction, metal trucks, 3-position reverse in the tender, an operating headlight, and metal wheels and axles.

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 sometimes 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 been out on display previously and its overall appearance could be significantly improved with a thorough dusting or a light wipe down. Did not run when tested on the track. Nicks and scratches on the wheels and surface from previous use. The original box is not included. Please see my pictures for additional features. Overall condition is Very Good.
