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\u003eParagon4 Sound \u0026amp; Control System featuring Rolling Thunder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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","brand":"Broadway Limited Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48758997614746,"sku":"10684","price":599.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0479\/9781\/2890\/files\/10684_BigBoy_AFT250_1-View.jpg?v=1785245537","url":"https:\/\/broadway-limited.com\/products\/10684-up-big-boy-4-8-8-4-40xx-aft-250-fantasy-appearance-paragon4-sound-dc-dcc-smoke-n-scale","provider":"Broadway Limited Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
