The locomotive features metal construction, a motor, a reverse unit, an operating headlight, metal side rods, metal wheels and exquisite detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item has been graded per TCA standards C-4: Fair based on visual appearance. The tender is not included. There are large sections where the original paint has been rubbed\/chipped off. There are spots of rust\/oxidation on the internals, eccentric rods, and on the chassis. One eccentric rod has its piston rod separated from the mechanism due to a breaking in the connector. The manufacturing plate underneath the drive wheels is loose on one side. One of the road number identification plates is severely deteriorated and is now barely legible. Overall condition is Fair.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fair (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"C-4: Scratched, moderate paint loss, dented missing parts, surface rust.
