| 4500hp Gas Turbine Diesel Locomotive w/ DCC & Sound
Union Pacific
Union Pacific operated the largest fleet of gas turbine-electric locomotives (GTELs) - which used a gas turbine to drive an electric generator - in the world, and was the only railroad to use them for hauling freight. Intended to replace the famous "Big Boys," units 51 to 60 were delivered to Union Pacific beginning in 1952 and were nicknamed "Big Blows" because of their high noise levels.
A replica of one of those UP Big Blows, this HO scale model features built-in sound - you'll hear synchronized steam chuff, whistle, bell, squealing brakes, and background sounds such as a compressor and slow compressor - that operates on standard DCC layouts; a powerful 5-pole motor with precision gearing for smooth operation; a detailed cab interior with glazed windows; working headlights; separately applied handrails, a bell, and a horn; a realistic fuel tank; a synchronized puffing ProtoSmoke system; blackened RP25 metal wheels; magnetically operated knuckle couplers; a razor-sharp Union Pacific paint scheme; and more. Measures approximately 11½" long and arrives ready to run; 18" minimum curve radius recommended.
