This locomotive and tender feature a custom painted brass construction, metal trucks, a powerful motor in the locomotive, and metal wheels and axles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst introduced in the early 20th century, the 4-8-4 to rail yards by storm primarily hauling coal and other forms of freight across state lines in the US and rail-ways in various other countries. While later models would improve on the 4-8-4's limitation, this locomotive still made its place in history as a pioneer of 20th century rail-road industry, and is featured in some museums today as a testament to how far the industry has truly come!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item has been graded per TCA standards (Restored\/Repainted) R-4: Very Good based on visual appearance. This locomotive and tender have been repainted green and had new decals put on. The paint is in good condition, but does have a rougher finish than a factory paint job. Some of the decals have visible edges where they did not blend in and hide with the paint perfectly. The smoke deflectors have been removed from this engine and are not included. The original box is included. This engine has been tested by our staff and found to be fully functional. Please check the photos for a detailed look at this item. Overall condition is Restored - Very Good.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Restored - Very Good (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"R-4: Restored to a general high standard.
