LIONEL 4-4-2 Steam Locomotive ~ CHESAPEAKE & OHIO ~ Rd# 8632

Description: In many ways the 4-4-2 Atlantic signaled the beginning of the “modern” era of steam locomotive design and development. While some new technologies would come later (such as super-heaters and piston valves) the Atlantic pioneered the successful application of the trailing truck in standard main line service.The Atlantic was built expressively for one purpose, speed, and became an excellent locomotive for carrying many railroads’ plush passenger trains. With their very large driving wheels many Atlantics could reach speeds between 80-100 mph and sustain such speeds for long intervals during their journey. A number of attempts were made to build a 4-4-2 from modifying an existing 2-4-2 or 2-4-0 or even 4-4-0 locomotives and unique build 4-4-2's double fireboxes center cab designs but no with no real success.The wheel arrangement truly came of age a few years later when the Atlantic Coast Line was hoping to improve upon the ubiquitous 4-4-0 with a larger firebox for increased steam and power. After approaching Baldwin about the concept the manufacturer produced the now-common 4-4-2 design in 1894 and named the new locomotive after the ACL, coining it as the "Atlantic Type". The new 4-4-2 proved to be just what railroads were looking for and by the time production ended over 1,900 units had been built.Maybe you should get the loved-one in your life a gift of jewelry while you get your Railroad item.
