Union Pacific needed an engine that could lift a 3,600-ton train over Sherman Hill 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, Broadway Limited brings the Big Boy back to N scale with all-new details never before offered: the commemorative front grab-iron placard, the golden eagle above the headlight, aluminum tires and walkway stripes, a newly tooled dual-beam headlight, new pilot and coupler cover, and the red-white-and-blue UP shield carried on the East Coast Tour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClass-2 engine No. 4020 in its 1944 appearance, with the Wilson aftercooler and the larger 25-C-400 coal tender.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Stealth Series version is a No-Sound \/ DCC-Ready model with the same drive, lighting and detail — a factory-installed speaker and Next18 decoder interface make it plug-and-play for the aftermarket decoder of your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diecast locomotive body and chassis for heavier weight and maximum tractive effort · Rubber tires on two drivers · Six drivers and all tender wheels pick up electricity · Operating smoke unit with on\/off switch on Paragon4 versions (use a thin-viscosity N scale smoke fluid) · Prototypically accurate paint schemes and road numbers · Separately applied handrails, grab irons, piping, tender ladders, whistle and bell · Prototypical headlight and rear light, separately controllable cab light · Operating Micro-Trains-compatible couplers · Runs on Code 55, 70 and 80 rail · Minimum radius 9.75\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📦 Preorder details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpected arrival: Summer 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-n-big-boy-preorder\"\u003eBLI N 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.
