This exceptional locomotive features painted and decorated brass construction, metal siderods, metal wheels, and motor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing its roots from South Africa and first introduced in the early 19th century, the 4-8-2 or also commonly referred to as the \"Mountain\" type made waves when it first hit rail-ways thanks to a re-designed truck system that granted these powerful locomotives excellent stability when traversing at high speeds with passenger cars. Their practicality and reliability would not go unnoticed and the 4-8-2 quickly founds itself commissioned to rail-yards across the world. The 4-8-2 has since moved on from rail-yards and now several models can be found in various museums throughout the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item has been graded per TCA standards C-7: Excellent based on visual appearance.
