Broadway Limited Imports HO 10215 Stealth Series DCC Ready ALCo Union Pacific 4-8-4 Class FEF-3 Locomotive UP #838 "49er Fantasy Scheme"
Union Pacific’s Northern-type locomotives were built by ALCO’s Schenectady Works in three classes between August 1937 and December 1944. The first class, designated FEF-1 (for Four-Eight-Four), consisted of locomotives 800–819. Equipped with 77-inch drivers and a 300-psi boiler, these locomotives impressed UP enough to order 15 additional engines between August and October 1939. These locomotives, numbered 820–834, featured 80-inch drivers and larger 14-wheel centipede tenders with a 23,500-gallon capacity and were designated FEF-2.
In December 1944, ten additional 4-8-4 locomotives were delivered, numbered 835–844. These engines featured low-backpressure double stacks and were designated FEF-3. All three classes developed an impressive 63,800 pounds of tractive effort.
Notable Features:
- Accurately modeled FEF-3 double stack and triple stack - prototypically accurate for each road number
- Accurately modeled turret casing
- Individual side rods
- Centipede-style oil tenders with finely detailed oil inserts. #844/8444 has the Heritage Fleet containment dam, other road numbers do not.
-
Options for Worthington and Sellers FWH
- Cast steel Commonwealth pilot with options for a front coupler or pilot insert
- Walschaerts Valve Gear
Our Stealth series models are no-sound and DCC-ready. They come with a 21-pin decoder socket for easy decoder installation, and they come factory-equipped with an 8-ohm speaker.
Industry-leading Model Features:
- Stealth Series - Model is DCC-Ready out of the box. No Sound.**
- Out of the box, front and rear lights are directional. Other lights are illuminated with track power.
- Model comes with 8-ohm speaker already installed for easy installation of DCC/Sound decoder.
**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.
