Lionel 6-8309 O Gauge Southern 2-8-2 Mikado Steam Locomotive & Tender #4501 EX/Box
Here is a Lionel 6-8309 O Gauge Southern 2-8-2 Mikado Steam Locomotive & Tender #4501 from 1983. This engine headed up the Southern Famous American Railroad Set from that year and was the first Lionel-produced engine with the 2-8-2 wheel arrangement. It features die-cast construction, smoke, sound of steam (a sort of prehistoric Railsounds), electronic whistle, magne-traction, operating headlamp, pullmor motor, transformer controlled forward-neutral-reverse, and a nice paint scheme.
Introduced at the turn of the 20th century, the 2-8-2 was an innovator breaking from the traditional manufacturing of locomotives, and featuring a larger firebox paving the way for greater speeds at a higher rate of power! Before we knew it, the 2-8-2 also known as the "Mikado" found itself in rail yards around the world from the United States to the Congo hauling freight from stop to stop. The Mikado would undergo a temporary name change after the Pearl Harbor bombing in 1941 shortly going by the McArthur, before eventually going back to the Mikado name after WW2.
This item has been graded per TCA standards C-7: Excellent based on visual appearance. This item appears to have been run sparingly, and displays overall signs of very light previous use. The tender has discoloration on the chassis. The original paint is in great shape, and the rest of the unit displays a like-new overall finish. The wheels show average run-time. This item has been out on display previously and its overall appearance could be significantly improved with a thorough dusting or a light wipe down. The instruction manual is not included. The original box is included. Please check the photos for a detailed look at this item. Overall condition is Excellent.
