It returned to service in May 2019 to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Transcontinental Railroad’s Completion.\r\n\r\nThe new 2022 Rivarossi model features a new fuel tender (the real tender stems from UP “Challenger” 3985), a modified firebox, new radio antennas and other newly tooled details to equal its 87 times larger prototype.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical features\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n•    UP #4014 version with fuel tender\r\n\r\n•    Strong 5-pole motor and brass flywheel in boiler\r\n\r\n•    Both bogie units powered\r\n\r\n•    Front and rear drivers powered\r\n\r\n•    DCC ready, 21-pin MTC plug on board\r\n\r\n•    Handrails made of steel wire\r\n\r\n•    Wheel profile according to RP-25 wheels\r\n\r\n•    US-style knuckle coupler on rear of tender\r\n\r\n•    Moveable dummy knuckle coupler on front pilot\r\n\r\n•    Steam delivery pipes pivot realistically as the engine turns\r\n\r\n•    Length: 18-3\/4\"\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the name \"BIG BOY\"? \u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\nOf all the articulated engines, the 4-8-8-4 was the “biggest” in terms of size, weight, power and speed.\r\n\r\nHence the name “Big Boy”, which appropriately summarizes all these qualities. It seems that the name comes from a chalk writing on the door of the smoke room of the prototype 4000 by an ALCO worker.\r\n\r\nThe Big Boy can reach a speed of 80 miles per hour and its maximum power, of over 7000 hp, develops at a speed of 30 mph.\r\n\r\nWith a staggering length of 475mm (almost 19 inches), this model boasts a 5-pole motor and brass flywheel, a DCC Ready 21-pin plug, handrails made out of steel wire and much more.\r\n\r\nThis locomotive is unlike any other and is without doubt a pure classic.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eStock Availability\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\nThere will be a limited amount of stock available in 2022.  Pre-Order early for the best chance to receive your product in the first batch.  Late pre-orders may not arrive until later in 2023.\r\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rivarossi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43092938293353,"sku":"5055286699412","price":1110.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/auroratrains.com.au\/products\/rivarossi-hr2884s-up-big-boy-4014-up-steam-heritage-edition-with-fuel-tender-with-dcc-sound-ho-scale","provider":"Aurora Trains","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
