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 is a fantasy scheme: No. 4014 finished in an ornate Victorian-era livery inspired by the decorated locomotives of the 1800s. Not a prototype paint scheme, but a striking display piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Paragon4 version carries BLI's all-new Paragon4 Sound \u0026amp; Control system: synchronized puffing smoke with chuff sound, variable smoke intensity and timing, a separate whistle-smoke effect, an integral dual-mode DCC decoder with Back EMF for the best slow-speed running in DC and DCC, and accurate Union Pacific Big Boy sounds. Headlight, reverse light, cab light, front numberboards and front and rear markers are all separately controllable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy diecast boiler, tender body and chassis · Precision drive with 5-pole skew-wound can motor and rubber traction tires · Two aftercooler variations (as-delivered for Class-1, Wilson for Class-2) · Three tender variations (25-C-100, 25-C-400, and the Challenger #3985 excursion tender for the 4014 excursion versions) · Prototypically accurate details for each road number · Separately applied handrails, ladders, piping, cab glass, whistle, brass bell, markers and air tanks · Factory-installed engineer and fireman · Optional smoke hood and operating front coupler in the box · Minimum radius 18\" · Coupler-to-coupler length 19\" · Locomotive 2 lb 15.5 oz, tender 15.5 oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📦 Preorder details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpected arrival: Early 2027 (see the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/broadway-limited.com\/pages\/delivery-schedule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBLI Official Delivery Schedule\u003c\/a\u003e for the latest dates).\u003cbr\u003e25% deposit required at checkout, balance charged when the product arrives.\u003cbr\u003ePreorder cancellation: 7 days from order date; deposit non-refundable after that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse more from \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/broadway-limited-imports\"\u003eBroadway Limited Imports\u003c\/a\u003e, see the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bli-ho-big-boy-preorder\"\u003eBLI HO Big Boy run\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/union-pacific-model-trains\"\u003eUnion Pacific collection\u003c\/a\u003e, or see \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/preorders\"\u003eall preorders\u003c\/a\u003e.
