The 646 steam engine was available in boxed sets or as a separate sale item. It is the least common of the three steamers -- the 646, 2046 or 2056. Because the 646 was marketed as an O gauge item, total sales were always fewer when compared to its 027 equivalents -- the 2046 and 2056.
Features
Standard features on the 646 include; 4-6-4 wheel arrangement with detailed driving wheel
hardware, black painted die-cast boiler, Magnetraction, three-position E-unit, headlight,
smoke, wire handrails plus an ornamental bell and whistle.
For 1954, the trailing truck was an all die-cast unit. For 1955 thru 1958, the truck was changed to a combination of sheet metal and plastic side frames.
The 646 was only sold with the 2046W whistling tender. However, for a brief time in 1957 or 1958, the 2046W tender was produced with 2046W printed on the side of the tender shell. Although not rare, this version of the 2046W tender is harder-to-find than the regular production verion without the 2046W printed on the sides.
