It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog, the last one of 2024! Today's image if of the other American Flyer steam locomotive that I have. This one is a bit smaller, it is a 4-4-2 wheel arrangement, also known as an Atlantic. This style was used prominently on the Milwaukee Road with their streamlined locomotive the Hiawatha. This locomotive still works as well and also smokes when fluid is added.
It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! I am sharing today's image due to the Christmas season. American Flyer trains used to be quite popular along with Lionel for having around the Christmas tree. Lionel had better sales people I guess because AF had more realistic looking track. Anyway, this is one of my locomotives in front of the tree. I bought it later in life. It still runs which I have a few times, it smokes as well if you put the fluid in the stack. Quite fun. It's a Hudson style locomotive, a 4-6-4 wheel arrangement.
