MTH - Premier Steam Locomotives (Scale Wheels) - 4-4-2  - O Scale 2 Rail

At a time when the Atlantic wheel arrangement was pass on most railroads and the larger Pacific had become the new normal for passenger power, the Standard Railroad of the World entrusted its mainline expresses to a new class of E6s Atlantics. Following the mantra set down by an earlier Pennsy designer that "every pair of drivers adds complications of machinery and friction," Alfred W. Gibbs, the Pennsylvania Railroad's first and only Chief Mechanical Engineer, created a muscular Atlantic that could do the work of a Pacific of its time, cost less to build and operate, and easily topped 100 mph.
