Introduced in its prototype form in the late 19th century, the 4-6-2 would take the world by storm at the turn of the 20th century, being seen as one of the biggest innovations in the history of locomotives — the 4-6-2 would quickly find its place in railyards across the world. Heralded for its ability to haul passengers, the 4-6-2 was a versatile model, hauling freight and coal as well, with tank variants being introduced later during the 20th century. Traveling at speeds upwards of 100mph the 4-6-2 was featured on railways ranging from Argentina to Egypt, and all the way to the far East in China! Now’s your chance to add some history to your collection.
My history with this locomotive:
02/11/2023 – I repaired and retested the locomotive. I replaced the U-Connector on the motor. On 5/16/2026, I applied Loctite to the rod screws to keep them from unscrewing when the train runs. A new video has been taken to show that the locomotive RUNS GREAT NOW. Tried publishing the video directly from my phone and it went to the wrong channel but check it out anyway.
02/10/2023 – Original examination and first test. It did not run. Believed to have split U-Connector on motor side of drive shaft. I believe I saw I replacement within the owner’s collection. I cleaned some lint from the wheels. I also had to glue 3 stanchions back on to hold pipes around top of steam engine on both sides. Needs more cleaning. Roof of Cab slides off pretty greasy. Front simulated lanterns and number board light appear to have been glued on with heavy glue residue. Lots of lint in sprockets.
05/16/2026 – Repaired and Tested. Runs Great. New Video Made.
Please view the updated video.
