This new production run celebrates the locomotive's remarkable return to steam with several exciting new versions that have never before been offered in N scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the first time, we're introducing three new versions of No. 4014, including two models representing its current appearance during the America's 250th Anniversary Tour, as well as a special edition featuring the locomotive's unique smoke deflectors as seen during its memorable 2025 excursion between Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Denver, Colorado. Each version has been carefully recreated with the prototype-specific details that make these appearances so distinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make these models our most accurate Big Boys yet, we've added a number of all-new details, including the commemorative front grab iron placard, the golden eagle mounted above the headlight, aluminum tires and walkway stripes, a newly tooled dual-beam headlight, a new pilot and coupler cover, and the special Union Pacific shield with red, white, and blue striping carried during the East Coast Tour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFans of the original Big Boys haven't been forgotten, either. This production run also includes two road numbers in their 1941 as-delivered appearance, complete with aftercoolers and the 25-C-100 coal tender, along with two additional road numbers representing the locomotives in their 1944 appearance, featuring Wilson aftercoolers and the larger 25-C-400 coal tender.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery model will be available with our Paragon4 Sound\/DC\/DCC system with synchronized smoke, delivering the sights, sounds, and performance that have made Broadway Limited Imports locomotives favorites among model railroaders. For those who prefer to install their own electronics, we'll also offer our Stealth DCC-Ready version, equipped with a Next18 decoder interface and a factory-installed speaker for easy decoder installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're recreating today's unforgettable excursions behind No. 4014 or building a fleet of historic Union Pacific Big Boys from the steam era, this production run offers something for every fan of the world's largest operating steam locomotive. With all-new details, multiple eras to choose from, and Broadway Limited Imports' signature realism, these models are sure to become the centerpiece of any N scale collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout The Prototype:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThere were 25 locomotives fabricated in two different groups. Class 1 were locomotives #4000-4019 and Class 2 was numbered 4020-4024. The first Big Boy #4000 was delivered to Omaha, NE on September 5, 1941. The Union Pacific Railroad's commitment to the Big Boy required them to replace the lighter rail and straighten out many miles of track for clearance as well as to resize elements of their service areas (such as turntable lengths, etc.) for the entire line these locos would run on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Big Boys demonstrated fantastic strength and speed as they faced these challenges throughout their storied careers. With the total mileage on the Big Boy fleet being approximately 1,000,000 miles for each locomotive, one must say that they earned their reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParagon4 Sound \u0026amp; Control System featuring Rolling Thunder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegral Dual-Mode Decoder with Back EMF for Superb Slow Speed Operation in DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision Drive Mechanism Engineered for Heavy Towing and Smooth Slow Speed Operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Smoke Unit with On\/Off Switch - Note that N scale smoke units require a thin-viscosity smoke fluid such as JT's Mega Steam or Marklin's #02421 smoke fluid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix Drivers and All Tender Wheels Pick-up Electricity from Track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie Cast Locomotive Body with Die Cast Chassis for Heavier Weight and Maximum Tractive Effort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubber Tires on Two Drivers for Additional Tractive Effort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium Caliber Painting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypically Accurate Paint Schemes and Road Numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany Separately Applied Details such as Handrails, Grab Irons, Piping, Tender Ladders, Whistle, and Bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypical Headlight and Rear Light Operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately Controllable Cab Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypically Accurate Sounds for the Union Pacific Big Boy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Microtrains-compatible Couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill Operate on Code 55, Code 70, and Code 80 Rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Operating Radius: 9.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePREORDER INFORMATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a Pre-Order item.
