Kato 126-4014-DCC 4-8-8-4 Big Boy with Oil Tender UP Union Pacific #4014 (2021 Version; black, graphite) DCC (no sound) N Scale

This N Scale Kato 4-8-8-4 Big Boy is a model of the huge Union Pacific steam locomotive restored for the railroad's 150th anniversary. Built by the American Locomotive Company from 1941 - 1944, the Union Pacific was the only buyer, with 25 massive 600 - ton engines. The 4 - 8 - 8 - 4 wheel setup offers great stability and power. The original engines were coal - powered, and #4014 was converted to oil after retirement. Most Big Boys retired in 1959, but eight remain in 2022. #4014 was rebuilt and is now the world's largest, most powerful operating steam locomotive. This model uses two coreless motors in dual articulated metal mechanisms to power 16 driving wheels. Like the real engine, it can navigate 11 - radius curves. It has pickup from both the drive sections and the tender for better electrical coverage. It comes with a factory - installed DCC decoder for realistic motor and lighting control. Note: Pictures may show a different road number.
