Product description
Model: The locomotive has a digital decoder and extensive sound functions. It also has various operating sounds such as oil and water being replenished or the opening and closing of sliding windows and ventilation hatches on the cab, all of which can be controlled digitally. The locomotive has controlled high-efficiency propulsion with a flywheel, mounted in the boiler. 4 axles powered. Traction tires. The locomotive has Boxpok driving wheels. Maintenance-free warm white LEDs are used for the headlight on the locomotive and tender, cab lighting as well as number boards and marker lights, all of which can be controlled digitally. There is a factory-installed smoke generator with dynamic steam exhaust. The headlights and smoke unit contact will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. There are two powerful speakers in the tender. Imitation couplers in a standard pocket can be mounted on the pilot on the front of the locomotive. There is a close coupling with a mechanism between the locomotive and tender. The locomotive has separately applied metal grab irons. There are many other separately applied details. There is a figure of a locomotive engineer and a fireman in the cab.
Length over the couplers approximately 41 cm / 16-1/8".Notes for operating this locomotive: The locomotive can be used on curved track with a radius of 437.5 mm / 17-1/4" (Radius 2) or more, however we recommend larger radii. Due to the overhang of the long boiler, signals, catenary masts, bridge railings, tunnel portals, etc. must be installed for sufficient clearance on curves. The track must be well mounted due to the heavy weight of the locomotive. The locomotive can only be run through a turntable or transfer table. Products bearing "Union Pacific" are made under trademark license from the Union Pacific Railroad Company.
This model can be found in an AC version in the Märklin H0 assortment under item number 37984. The special run for the anniversary "150 Years of the Golden Spike" in May of 2019 can be modelled with this locomotive together with the 22014/22163 Big Boy and the 43617 passenger car set.
