  • Big Boy' Project Information
    Union Pacific 4884-1&2 Class 'Big Boy' Project Information TIMKEN TIMKEN TIMKEN TIMKEN TIMKEN TIMKEN TIMKEN The original centipede tenders designed for use with the 1939 Northern class locomotives were slightly smaller, but were so successful that the design was adapted for use with all later road engines including the 'late' Challengers and Big Boys. The tender elevation draw- ing shown above is of a 25-C-1 type built for use with the first production series (4000-4019) of Big Boy locomotives. The drawing below is of a 25-C-4 type used with the second production order (4020-4024) of Big Boys. The primary difference between the two tenders was the amount of water carried, the 25-C-1 carrying 24,000 gallons while the 25-C-4 carried 25,000 gallons, both carried 28 tons of coal. In later service you will find that the two tender types were frequently interchanged between locomotives from the two production orders. You may note the obvious differences in the seam and rivet arrangements as well as the front compartment configura- tions, but the tender beds were virtually identical. For the first time to our knowledge, our Big Boy project will provide correct pairings of locomotive and tender types for all road numbers included in our production. There will be early and late service variations included in the production and they will include the appropri- ate detail not represented in these basic 'as-built' construction elevations. If you are interested in ordering a 'late' version locomotive and want to know what tender it will have, all road numbers will have 25-C-1 tenders except the following which will be paired with 25-C-4 tenders: 4000, 4002, 4006, 4009 & 4017.

  • Railking 4-6-6-4 Challenger Steam Engine Operating Instructions
    RAILKING 4-6-6-4 CHALLENGER STEAM ENGINE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Thank you for purchasing this model of the Union Pacific Challenger. This RailKing Steam Engine contains state-of-the-art electronics with many built-in automatic features for incredibly realistic operation. Despite these advanced features, the locomotive is easy to operate on an O-31 layout with any compatible standard AC transformer (see the compatibility chart on pg. 18), and is completely compatible with most other 3-rail locomotives, rolling stock, and accessories. This locomotive is equipped with Proto-Sound 2.0 with Digital Command System (DCS). This new system will allow you to operate your locomotive in Command mode (when used with the DCS Remote Control System, sold separately) or Conventional mode. Conventional operating features are described in the following pages, while the DCS operating features are covered in the set of operating instructions that accompanies the DCS equipment. Conventional Mode operation of this locomotive is much simpler than operation of original Proto-Sound engines. For your own safety and that of your equipment, please read the instructions before you operate this engine.

  • Union Pacific Challenger Project Information
    Union Pacific Challenger Project Information Kohs & Company Sample Model The Union Pacific 'late' Challengers (classes 4664-3, 4 & 5), our second Union Pacific project, were significant for their service to the railroad during a critical period in railroading history and were arguably the best known locomotives of the type. These ALCO built locomotives were delivered between 1942 and 1944 in three production orders totaling sixty-five units. There were six additional locomotives ordered by the War Production Board as part of the second Union Pacific order and those were allo- cated to the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad during World War II where they operated as that road’s L-97 class. After the war those same six locomotives were sold by the 'WPB' to the Clinchfield Railroad where they became the E-3 class. While sharing many of the design features of the Union Pacific 'Big Boy', the Challenger’s wheel arrangement allowed the class to operate system-wide including areas where the 4884 class could not. Fast freight was the intended specialty, but many Chal- lengers saw passenger service as well, particularly in the Northwest area of the system. When new, the entire class was coal fired, but shortly after the final order was delivered the Union Pacific began converting a number of locomotives to oil fired operation specifically for passenger service. Although not the biggest or most powerful, many consider these well proportioned locomo- tives to be among the most aesthetically pleasing ever built and we agree. The last of the 'late' Challengers left service in 1961.
