One features a patriotic AFT 250-inspired commemorative design celebrating America's railroad heritage that also plays patriotic music at the press of a button! The other showcases the Big Boy in a beautifully detailed 1800s-inspired ornate paint scheme. These unique additions complement our already popular Union Pacific Big Boy lineup and provide dealers with even more exciting options to offer their customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs always, our Big Boy models will be available equipped with Paragon4 Sound\/DC\/DCC, featuring synchronized smoke for an incredibly realistic operating experience.

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\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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry-leading Model Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParagon4 Sound \u0026amp; Control System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynchronized Puffing Smoke with Chuff Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable Puffing Smoke Intensity and timing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate Whistle Smoke Feature - smoke streams from whistle area when whistle is blown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegral DCC Decoder with Back EMF for Industry Best Slow Speed Operation in DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision Drive Mechanism engineered for continuous heavy load towing and smooth slow speed operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-Pole Can Motor with Skew Wound Armature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy Die Cast Boiler, Tender Body, and Chassis for Increased Tractive Effort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium Caliber Painting with Authentic Paint Scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypical Light Operation with Separately Controllable Headlight, Reverse Light, Cab Light, Front Numberboards, Front Marker Lights, Rear Marker Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-installed Engineer and Fireman Figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional Smoke Hood can be Installed if Desired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional Operating Front Coupler Included in Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypically Accurate Details for Each Road Number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo After-cooler variations - As-Delivered for the Class-1 and Wilson Aftercooler for the Class-2 models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Accurately Modeled Tender Variations: 25-C-100 for the Class-1 models, 25-C-400 for the Class-2 models, and the appropriate Challenger #3985 tender for the #4014 Excursion Service models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany Separately Applied Details such as Handrails, Ladders, Piping, Cab Glass, Whistle, Brass Bell, Markers, Numberboards, Air Tanks, and Many Others\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipped with Rubber Traction Tires for Increased Pulling Power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Minimum Radius: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlays patriotic music by pressing F3 or F4.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate Prototypical Sounds for the Union Pacific Big Boys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocomotive Weight: 2 lbs 15.5 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTender Weight: 15.5 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler to Coupler Length: 19 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheelbase: 16.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Broadway Limited Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48252971548826,"sku":"10614","price":899.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0479\/9781\/2890\/files\/10614_AFT250_0070.jpg?v=1785173388","url":"https:\/\/broadway-limited.com\/products\/10614-up-big-boy-4-8-8-4-40xx-aft-250-fantasy-appearance-paragon4-sound-dc-dcc-smoke-ho","provider":"Broadway Limited Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
