U.P. wished to simplify this system and instructed their own development department to design a new locomotive capable of hauling a 3,600 ton train (max 4,200 tons) up the steep pass.The 25 Big Boy locomotives were built in 2 groups. The first group, called the Class 1, was built from 1941. The second, Class 2, was built in 1944.The last goods train was hauled by a Big Boy loco in July 1959.Most Big Boys were retired from service in 1961.Model detailsScale 1:87No. of parts 87Length 464 mmSkill Level 3One-piece reproduction boilerSeparate butterfly damperDetailed driver's cabMovable pony trucksDetailed driving wheelsDetailed driving rodsFront cow-catcherDetailed tender with laddersFinely detailed reproduction tracks (approx. 48 cm)Decals for 2 Union Pacific versions Deluxe Materials Plastic Magic Cement 40ml (AD83)Plastic Magic Cement is a thin, liquid plastic cement with a 10-15 sec adjustment time & non-clog action.
