The locomotive type was originally experimented with the Santa Fe but the railroad never received more than one locomotive because of balance issues and a low tractive effort rating on the railroads steepest grades. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Great Northern and Union Pacific revised the designs and proceeded to order several of these locomotives.

We are building three prototypical road numbers in their “Pre-1944” appearance, and three prototypical road numbers in their “Post-1944” appearance. We are also building 1 locomotive in the Two Tone Gray Fantasy Scheme. Each model will be available with our Paragon4 Sound\/DC\/DCC electronics and smoke. In addition to the Paragon4 models, we are also building these models in our Stealth Series. Stealth Series models are no sound models and are DCC-Ready. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry-leading Model Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e•\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eALL-NEW Paragon4 Sound \u0026amp; Control System\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSynchronized Puffing Smoke with Chuff Sound\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eVariable Puffing Smoke Intensity and timing\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIntegral DCC Decoder with Back EMF for Industry-Best Slow Speed Operation in DC and DCC\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePrecision Drive Mechanism engineered for continuous heavy load towing and smooth slow speed operation\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e5-Pole Can Motor with Skew Wound Armature\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHand crafted Brass Boiler, Tender Body, and diecast Chassis for maximum Tractive Effort\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePrototypically Accurate Details for Each Road Number\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMany Separately Applied Details such as Handrails, Ladders, Piping, Cab Glass, Whistle, Brass Bell, Markers, Numberboards, Air Tanks, and Many Others\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePremium Caliber Painting with Authentic Paint Schemes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePrototypical Light Operation with Separately Controllable Headlight, Reverse Light, Cab Light, Front Numberboards, Rear Marker Light\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFactory-installed Engineer and Fireman Figures\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTwo operating Kadee-compatible couplers. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEquipped with Rubber Traction Tires for Increased Pulling Power\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWill Operate on Code 70, Code 83, and Code 100 Rail\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRecommended Minimum Radius: 18 inches\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCoupler to Coupler length: 14.2 inches\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWheel base: 12.4 inches\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAccurate Prototypical Sounds for the Union Pacific Bullmoose\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBroadway Limited Imports is proud to introduce Paragon4: The new benchmark for premium HO sound-equipped locomotives.
