The FEF-3 series of steam locomotives was delivered in 1944 and were the last, and some of the largest, steam locomotives delivered for use by the Union Pacific. Operated solely by the Union Pacific, the FEF's (sometimes referred to as \"Northerns\", due to the NP's being the first to build steam locomotives with the 4-8-4 wheel arrangement) were intended primarily to be passenger locomotives but the UP's large fleet of available diesels meant that the FEF's were put to work in secondary passenger and fast freight service.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday, FEF-3 #844 (at some times during history also known as #8444 to avoid numbering conflicts with a diesel loco) survives to pull excursion trains as a publicity locomotive for the Union Pacific, and is one the its oldest operating locomotives. The Kato N Scale FEF-3 follows in the footsteps of its Southern Pacific 4-8-4 cousin, refining the basic concept of a high-power, flexible steam locomotive which is easily upgraded to DCC by coupling a special, isolated coreless motor drive system with heavy duty flywheels and a flexible cross-braced suspension system that gives the locomotive a high torque, high traction grip that ensures constant and consistent pressure spread across the primary drivers. Another benefit of the coreless motor system is that the locomotive has an extremely low starting voltage, giving the locomotive slow creeping speeds that will allow modelers to appreciate the complex arrangement of moving side rods that make steam operation so exciting. Other features, such as the locomotive's unique \"Centipede\" style tender being fitted with special articulation mechanisms that appear seamless when observed but bend and flex to allow the locomotive to navigate tighter corners than should otherwise be possible!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSemi-modern appearance is appropriate for modern layouts behind UP Excursion trains as well as historical layouts operating freight and UP passenger services\u003cbr\u003eNew coreless motor design with dual brass flywheels for silky-smooth performance at all speeds, even slow crawls\u003cbr\u003eSpecial cross-braced shock absorbers equalize the pressure on the locomotive drivers to maximize traction\u003cbr\u003eIlluminated headlight and locomotive numberboards.

The Union Pacific was the sole purchaser of these engines, owning and operating a total of 25 of the colossal 600 ton engines. The 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement combined stability and power, with the four wheel leading truck allowing for smoother entry into curves while the two sets of 8 drive wheels provided 135,375 lbf of tractive force. The trailing four axle truck helped support the large firebox that was needed to keep the massive engine fed. The original Big Boy engines were coal powered, with 4014 being converted to oil when it was rebuilt after its retirement to be used in excursions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Big Boys plied the rails as reliable workhorses until the final unit was retired from revenue service in 1959, with eight engines surviving today. While most of the survivors are static display pieces, unit 4014 was re-purchased in 2014 by the Union Pacific and rebuilt in a five year process that brought it back into service as the largest, most powerful operating steam locomotive in the world, touring in 2019 and again in 2021 to celebrate the history of America's transcontinental railroads and the Union Pacific's commitment to preserving its history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Kato's N scale Big Boy engine is a wholly new and unique design from any steam engine that has come before, utilizing two coreless motors in dual articulated metal mechanisms to power the 16 total driving wheels. Thanks to the articulated design just like the real engine, the two sets of driving wheels are able to move independently which gives the engine the ability to navigate 11\" radius curves, allowing the locomotive to run with Kato's other large scale engines like the FEF-3 and GS-4. The engine also features pickup both from the drive sections as well as the tender for maximum electrical coverage and reliability, and will be fully ready to run no matter which variation you purchase with all details fit and ready to go out of the box, options for pre-installed DCC and even DCC + Sound, and operational lighting from the deck mounted forward facing headlight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Model Features:\u003cbr\u003e Dual coreless motors with brass flywheels for unmatched pulling performance\u003cbr\u003e Weights carefully placed along the body even in the cylinders to give the engine perfect balance and weight distribution.\u003cbr\u003e Minimum radius 11\" (282mm)\u003cbr\u003e Operational tinted LED headlight\u003cbr\u003e 4014 has the iconic \"Big Boy\" chalk lettering on the front of the smokebox\u003cbr\u003e 4014 is built to match the 2021 Excursion tour appearance:\u003cbr\u003e Oil Tender\u003cbr\u003e Graphite Firebox\u003cbr\u003e Silver cylinder head and piston covers\u003cbr\u003e Builder's Plate","brand":"Kato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42130680774738,"sku":"KAT-1264014","price":353.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/3410\/2098\/files\/126-4014__52716.jpg?v=1756165865"},{"product_id":"kato-n-1763515-c44-9w-burlington-northern-santa-fe-615","title":"Kato N 1763515 C44-9W Burlington Northern Santa Fe 615","description":"The headliner of GEs 1993 freight locomotive line was the 6 motor, 4400hp C44-9W Dash 9.

The SD90MAC struggled to find a place on US and Canadian Railroads in the 90s. While Union Pacific and Canadian Pacific purchased many of these engines  smaller railroads felt alienated from the gigantic prime movers which limited the SD90MAC's operational use.  In 2016 Norfolk Southern decided to convert several SD90MACs to SD70ACUs, the Siemens tech was swapped with Mitsubishi components and the cab was replaced with the SD70ACe's cab.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCanadian Pacific decided to rebuild their collection of SD90MACs as well. However instead of going to Norfolk Southern to rebuild these engines, they reached out to Progress Rail instead. 60 ACUs were delivered in 2019, and this order contained several heritage units. These special heritage units were used to commemorate different branches of the US and Canadian Army.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCP 7020 is painted in NATO green, replicating the standard camouflage used by Canadian and U.S. military vehicles in temperate areas.
