Saw two of these early Atlantics at the Asheville Train Show last month on a vendor's table
They weren't bad, not great pullers but ok. Had they, not done a pennsy prototype. they probably would have sold a lot more of them

Sam, back when I bought the Pennsy version. Look closely at this image and you will make out the tea of the tender on the box. About the same time Lionel put out a set that included two truncated Pennsy passenger cars. My dealer broke up the set selling me the passenger cars. Also both the Lionel Pennsy box car and someone made a Pennsy caboose.

The future of trains! Thank you for sharing! Nothing better kids trains kids (older) lol
they also made a GP7/9. was a real nice engine
Franktrain, that’s a nice video. Your Grandson will remember that forever.
Biggest issues with them is the motor worm gears stripping the axle gears as there is to much slop in the axle slots(there is a hack to fix this) and the overly fragile valve gear. At one time, someone made replacement metal valve gear for these. The PRR version is beautiful in my eyes, swapping a 2-8-0 mech under it makes a convincing PRR H class consolidation. I had a PRR version for several years, converted to onboard battery and ran indoors on an overhead loop. She ran great the whole time I owned it.
