Description
This is a Lionel 681 Type II Pennsylvania 6-8-6 S2 Turbine Steam Locomotive w/2046W-50 Tender. Features include die-cast metal construction, a motor with reverse and neutral function, operating headlight, operating smoke unit, metal side rods, metal wheels and beautiful detailing. The 681 Type II is equipped with magnetraction making it a more desirable locomotive. This engine and tender are easily identified because the 1953 locomotive cab number was applied by heat-stamping in white and introduced a different "Pennsylvania" tender the 2046W-50.
A powerful and innovative model, the 6-8-6 was a Steam locomotive introduced during the 20th century. The 6-8-6 was powerful at high speeds, and was initially seen as a possible challenger to the Diesel locomotives that were beginning to dominate rail-yards in North America. While the design was loved by many, the 6-8-6 would ultimately present too many problems in both maintenance and performance before actually being scrapped for good by 1960. No known 6-8-6 models exist today as the focus greatly shifted to diesel models by the 1960s. This won't stop you from running this legendary model, and with this breathtaking replica, you'll feel like you're in the cab of your very own real-life 6-8-6!
