Description

Miniature locomotive from the brand ATLAS, representing the famous "S 3/6 Series." The model is presented on a black base imitating a railway track, with a golden plaque explicitly mentioning "SERIE S 3/6." The set includes the steam locomotive and its tender, both painted in a vibrant blue with black details and some golden pinstripes. The wheels, connecting rods, and mechanical elements are visible on the exposed side, offering a technical aspect faithful to the vintage railway aesthetic.

The locomotive features a black cab, domes on the boiler, and visible side markings. The tender, attached to the locomotive, has a texture imitating coal and a blue/black finish matching the locomotive. The model is placed on a molded base with a reproduction of rails and sleepers, perfectly suited for display in a showcase or on a desk.

The visible inscriptions and markings are clear: the front plate on the base displays "SERIE S 3/6" in capital letters. No other brand logo or detail appears on the visible side, but the style and presentation correspond to the standards of ATLAS miniatures from the "Legendary Locomotives" series.

The model's surface shows a smooth finish, with fine reliefs on the body, wheels, and tender. The presence of details such as valves, railings, and boiler elements demonstrates careful reproduction. No major defects are apparent on the exposed side; the blue paint is uniform, without chips or visible scratches on this side.

The model is a faithful representation of an early 20th-century European steam locomotive, typical for its elongated silhouette, large driving wheels, and separate tender. The set is designed for display or decoration, and not for use on an electric circuit (no indication of motorization or precise scale is visible).

Condition

Used item sold as is. The locomotive + tender set has a beautiful appearance on the visible side, with no noticeable cosmetic defects. The base and identification plate are also in good apparent condition.

Did you know? The S 3/6 locomotive was designed in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century for the Bavarian railway company. It is famous for its performance on express lines and for its elegant silhouette with a separate tender, which marked European railway history.
