Union Pacific Model Trains

Few railroads read as instantly as Armour Yellow and grey. Modelling Union Pacific is mostly a question of era — the articulated steam that worked Sherman Hill, the streamlined E-units on the City trains, or the modern six-axle fleet — and the answer decides your motive power before anything else.

Broadway Limited Imports supplies most of the locomotives here, with Rapido, Atlas, Bowser, Kato, Bachmann, Micro-Trains and Microscale alongside. Two that show the spread: the BLI 8656 N scale Class 4-6-6-4 Challenger #3985 in Stealth DC form, and the Rapido 29539 HO EMD E7A + E7B pair, #990J and #963B, in DC/DCC/Sound. The Kato 176-5356 N scale EMD E8B #947B covers the same passenger era on a smaller budget.

Behind the engines: Atlas 20008562 HO Pullman 12-1 Sleeper "Pembina", Atlas 50007778 N Thrall 2743 Gondola #213639, the Bowser 44068 100-Ton Hopper #37073 and the Micro-Trains 5600 HO ex-Railbox 50' exterior post box car. Microscale waterslide decals fill the gaps — 87-1103 for SD70M winged-shield diesels and 87-1539 "Spirit of the Union Pacific" among them. HO is the larger share, with a working N scale selection. Several items are BLI, Rapido or Atlas pre-orders taken with a 25% deposit.
