4-8-8-4 Big Boy Steam Locomotive
The 25 massive, Alco-built 4000-class 4-8-8-4 Big Boys – the iconic Union Pacific steam
locomotives – built between 1941 and 1944 played a key role in hauling vital war materiel throughout World War II and
were among the last steam locomotives taken out of service in the late 1950s. Now you can have one running again!
This amazingly detailed, HO scale model of the legendary Big Boy features built-in DCC and sound; dual flywheels and precision
gearing; a detailed cab interior with fireman and engineer figures; working head and rear lights; a synchronized puffing ProtoSmoke system; separately applied metal handrails, a bell, and a whistle; a centipede tender with a coal load; and an
authentic UP paint scheme. 18¼" long; 22" minimum curve radius recommended...........................................Reg: $649 Now: $599

About Our Models... Unless otherwise noted, all of the HO scale locomotive models in this catalog feature a finely molded
body, glazed windows, a powerful motor, a die cast chassis, RP25 metal wheels, and magnetically operated knuckle couplers,
and arrive ready to run. Typically, most N scale rolling stock models come with plastic wheels. A final reminder: products in this
catalog are not toys; they are intended for modelers and railfans ages 14 and above.
If, in the catalog, you see one of these badges, it means that the loco next to it has built-in DCC
or DCC & sound! If a product is “DCC-equipped,” it works on standard DC or DCC systems.
