First appearing in the early 1900's, the 4-4-2 Atlantic quickly gained acceptance among railroad men as a viable replacement for the aging fleet of 4-4-0 Americans. Praised for their ability to meet fast schedule requirements, the Atlantic quickly became the standard for mainline, heavy-duty power. Pennsylvania's E-6 Atlantics ultimately became everyones favorite despite never being equipped with modern engineering conveniences like stokers, feedwater heaters or power reversers. They required a lot of work, but earned the praise as the "nicest hand fired engines ever built". Capable of achieving top speeds of 100 mph, the E-6 would get a little "tipsy" around 75 mph before smoothing out at 80 mph. This top heavy sensation often scared the E-6's crew, but once settled, the engine could keep right on climbing with no effect on riding quality. The E-6 returns to the Premier Line Steam Engine family this year in three different road names and features unmatched by any other O Gauge manufacturer.
