Many decades ago, I had Lionel trains. Many Lionel steam engines were of the Adriatic wheel arrangement (2-6-4) which, as far as I know, was never used for engines in the US (except for tank engines). American Flyer instead had Pacifics for their medium-price steam engines; and this more prototypical wheel arrangement was one of Flyer's advantages over Lionel. But I'd heard about the 2-6-4 wheel arrangement in Central Europe, and there it clearly is, at 6 minutes, under steam; same engine about 16:30, 17:20, 18:45.
