Model Set Big Boy Locomotive

The American Big Boys are among the longest and largest steam locomotives in the world ever built. In the late 1930s, Union Pacific often used aid agencies to pull trains from Ogden, Utah to Wasatch over a steep passport. U.P. wanted to simplify this system and commissioned the in-house development department to design a new locomotive, which would carry a 3,600 t train (up to max. 4,200 t) could pull up the steep pass. The 25 Big Boy locomotives are built in 2 groups. The first group, called Class 1, was built from 1941. The second group (class 2) was built in 1944. The last freight train transport addressed by a Big Boy lok took place in July 1959. Most of the Big Boy were decommissioned in 1961. - One-piece boiler replica - Separate smoke valve - Detailed driver's cab - Movable steering frames - Detailed drive wheels - Detailed drive rods - Front protection grille - Detailed coal transmitter with ladders - Finely detailed trail replica (approx. 48 cm).
