KATO UP Union Pacific Big Boy N Scale Steam Locomotive

Description: KATO UP Union Pacific Big Boy N Scale Steam Locomotive - Black (126-4014)DescriptionPackaging dimensions: ‎ 4.8 x 8.8 x 32.6 cm; 250 cm This steam locomotive is one of the largest in the world (though it's hard to say it's the largest in the world...) and was built by Alco for the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) in the United States from 1941 to 1944. The Big Boy is the only locomotive with the American-style "4-8-8-4" configuration, and boasts the ability to pull 3,300 tons on gradient sections and about 100 km/h on flat sections, as required by UP. After being retired in 1959, #4014 was revived as a preserved locomotive in May 2019. The manufacturer's example formation is "Big Boy #4014" + "Water Tender" + "SD70M #4015" + "Excursion Train (7 cars)", but the actual train does not necessarily run in this formation. Recently, the auxiliary DL is often of a different type, and the passenger cars towed are sometimes other preserved cars. In any case, the model is just as large as the real thing, so it's incredibly impressive.It's amazing that it can clear a curve radius of R282mm!Even if you're not a fan of American models, why not get one? By the way, in the anime "Galaxy Railroad Story," there is a scene where a locomotive called "Big 1," modeled after the Big Boy, is in action pulling a passenger car modeled after an old Japanese passenger car (Suha 43 series?).It also co-starred in "999"!Shipping We will ship by FedEx or Japan PostInternational Buyers - Please Note:Import duties and taxes are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
