The Challengers were 122 ft (37 m) long, weighed 284,800 kg, and  operated over most of the Union Pacific system, primarily in freight service.  The excellent Challenger design allowed for increased speed on mountain grades compared to UP's previous articulated steam locomotives.  \u003c\/span\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cspan lang=\"en-us\"\u003eThis BLI model is of the Class CSA-2 Challenger, commonly called an \"early challenger\".  Our models have a post-1947 appearance, after the locomotives were renumbered from 3900 to 3800 series.   We are offering three locomotive variations: four road numbers with the as-delivered front engine, four road numbers with a rebuilt front engine, and two road numbers with an integral cast cylinder front engine.   All of our models are oil-burners with 19,000 gallon cylindrical tenders.  We are also offering one painted but unlettered model of each variation, and we will build a small quantity of one model with all parts either varnished brass or painted brass.   This model will have the as-delivered front engine.\r\n\u003c\/span\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e Industry-Leading Features\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e:\u003c\/u\u003e\r\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eALL-NEW Paragon4 Sound \u0026amp; Control System\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eSynchronized Puffing Smoke with Chuff Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eVariable Puffing Smoke Intensity and timing\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eIntegral DCC Decoder with Back EMF for Industry Best Slow Speed Operation in DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003ePrecision Drive Mechanism engineered for continuous heavy load towing and smooth slow speed operation\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e5-Pole Can Motor with Skew Wound Armature\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003ePremium Caliber Painting with Authentic Paint Schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003ePrototypical Light Operation with Golden White LED Headlight, Rear Light\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eBrass Caliber Detail at an Affordable Price\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e CSA Challenger #3836 Model Information:\u003c\/u\u003e\r\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eBrass Locomotive and Tender Body\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eHeavyweight Die Cast Chassis for Maximum Pulling Power\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e19,000 Gallon Cylindrical Oil Tender\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eRe-built Front Engine\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eDistinctive UP Graphite Firebox \u0026amp; Smokebox\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eAluminum Lettering\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eMany Separately Applied Details Including Handrails, Grab Irons, Ladders, Piping, Whistle, and Brass Bell\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eEquipped with Traction Tires for Increased Pulling Power\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eEngineer and Fireman Figures Installed\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eWill Operate on Code 70, 83, and 100 rail\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eRecommended Minimum Radius: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eAccurate Prototypical Sounds for the UP CSA-2 Challenger\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eBroadway Limited Imports is proud to introduce Paragon4: The new benchmark for premium HO sound-equipped locomotives.
