This website has a pdf list of prewar standard gauge engines that shows a 1939 1835 engine as a 2-4-1! How did Lionel do that?!?..
Hello SantaFe Kent! That must have been a Typo you saw. 1835s had a 2-4-2 Wheel Arraingment on them.Take Care.
Sound more like a sale than a train!
Maybe it threw a wheel going around a curve? . . . [;)]
