Union Pacific needed an engine that could lift a 3,600-ton train over Sherman Hill and the 1.14% grade between Ogden and Wasatch, Utah, without helpers, and ALCO answered in 1941 with the 4-8-8-4 Big Boy: 132 feet long, sixteen 68-inch drivers, and among the longest, heaviest and most powerful steam locomotives ever built. Twenty-five were delivered in two groups (4000–4019 in 1941, 4020–4024 in 1944), each averaging roughly a million miles in service. With No. 4014 back on the main line and touring the country for America's 250th birthday, the Big Boy is as famous today as it has ever been.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model represents Class-1 Big Boy No. 4016 as delivered by ALCO in 1941, with the original as-delivered aftercooler arrangement and the 25-C-100 coal tender — the way the first twenty Big Boys looked when they went to work on Sherman Hill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Stealth Series version is the same heavy diecast model without sound: it runs on DC straight out of the box and comes with a factory-installed speaker and 21-pin decoder interface, so you can drop in the aftermarket decoder of your choice.
