Lionel O Gauge 6-18601 Great Northern Engine with Tender, Very Good Condition, with original Box, Circa 1987-1988,

$175.00
This nice Lionel O Gauge 6-18601 Great Northern Engine with Tender is in its original box, with original paperwork. The engine features a Diecast metal body and appear in like new condition, based on visual appearance. Both engine and tender die cast and heavy. The engine has been tested and runs very smoothly, no issues with forward-neutral-reverse operation, per my husband who tested the engine, "it runs like brand new".

At some point in the life of this engine, the smoke/horn unit short circuited and failed. This unit (the horn/smoke unit) is not repairable. The original pieces of the smoke/horn unit are contained in plastic wrapper in the box. Per the paperwork in the box, this engine dates from 1987-1988. Please carefully review photos for full perspective.

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.
