Description

UP Business Car “Lincoln” (HO Scale)

Broadway Limited Imports is excited to bring back our popular UP business car #101 “Lincoln” with new decoration to recreate this year’s most popular steam excursion.

Built in 1950 by Pullman-Standard as Coach No. 5447, Union Pacific car #101 has been a familiar sight in UP’s excursion consists. It was originally named “Pocatello,” after Shoshone Chief Pocatello, and kept that name until 2001.

That year, the car underwent a major interior overhaul and received brand-new wood furnishings. Following the refurbishment, it was renamed “Lone Star” in recognition of Union Pacific’s operations in Texas, the Lone Star State.

In 2020, the car was transformed again, receiving a refreshed interior design and a new name, “Lincoln,” to honor President Abraham Lincoln, who signed the Pacific Railway Act that led to the creation of Union Pacific.

Today, “Lincoln” is a signature car in UP’s excursion fleet, often found at the rear, or sometimes in the middle, of special trains. It has been pulled by both steam and diesel locomotives and most recently carried the Big Boy Tour drumhead during the summer of 2024, when Big Boy No. 4014 toured California and the Midwest.

This production run brings two new appearances. If you want to model Big Boy 4014’s cross-country tour for the 250th anniversary, these cars are the accurate additions to your consist. Item 10848 matches the East Coast Tour version, with the UP shield on the rear, and item 10849 matches the West Coast Tour version, with a lighted drumhead. Each car features the “America 250” logo, correctly placed on the side of the car. These are the first accurate UP business cars on the market with the appropriate decoration to celebrate this historic cross-country excursion.

      Preorders: Frequently Asked Questions

      What is preordering and why would I want to do that?

      In the model railroading world, most products are made in limited runs. Manufacturers no longer produce large quantities to sit in warehouses. Instead, they announce new items and set a preorder deadline. After that date, production is based largely on the number of reservations received.

      Preordering through Model Train Stuff guarantees your spot in line for these limited releases. When the products arrive, orders are filled in the order they were placed. The earlier you preorder, the better your chance of getting your items, even if there are shipping delays or shortfalls from the manufacturer.

      Preordering is as easy as 1-2-3!
      1. Preordering is available on any item with the word "Preorder" as the first word in the product title.
      2. We will email your invoice approximately 30-45 days before your preorder items land at the warehouse. With the interactive invoice you can select your preferred shipping method and pay the balance of your order right online!
      3. We'll ship you your preorder once your invoice is paid online. 

      How can I place a preorder?

      To place a preorder, simply look for items marked with "PREORDER" in their title on our website. Add the item to your cart and proceed to checkout. You'll be required to pay a 10% non-refundable deposit to secure your reservation.

      When will I be charged for my preorder?

      Can I cancel my preorder?

      Preorders can be canceled, but please note that the 10% deposit is non-refundable and will not be credited to store credit, as it goes toward covering the cost of the uncollected reservation.
