Here is a Lionel 5-6501 HO Freedom Train 4-8-4 GS-4 Steam Locomotive & Tender from the mid-1970s. This item features a plastic body construction with a motor, plastic trucks, metal and plastic wheels, and horn hook couplers.

First 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!
