Lionel 2055 Vintage O 4-6-4 Hudson Steam Locomotive & 2046W Tender EX

This is a Lionel 2055 Vintage O 4-6-4 Hudson Steam Locomotive & 2046W Streamlined Whistle from 1953-55. The 2055 steamer was classified by Lionel as a Santa Fe-style Hudson. It‘s a mid-size steam engine and sold as an 027 gauge item. The 2055 remains a dependable and quality locomotive. With the exception of the cab number, the 2055 is the same locomotive as a 685. Those two locomotives share their boiler castings with two other Lionel locomotives, the 665 and 2065 steamers -- the difference being the boiler fronts. The 2055 steam engine was available in boxed sets or as a separate sale item. It is a common locomotive and was sold with either of two whistling tenders; the 2046W streamlined style or 6026W square or coffin style. Features include die-cast metal construction, a motor, a reverse unit, an operating headlight, an operating smoke unit, a bell, metal side rods, metal wheels and nice detail. Included is a 2046W streamlined whistle tender with die cast trucks, knuckle coupler, and metal wheels.

Known as the Baltic in Europe and the Hudson in North America, the 4-6-4 was introduced in the early 20th century finding success in hauling freight and as a shunting model. Their use would initially find great success on North American railways before eventually becoming mainstays in rail-yards around the world.

This item has been graded per TCA standards C-7: Excellent based on visual appearance. There are scuffs and scratches present on both the tender and locomotive.
