 **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.

Prototype History

Between the time the UP ‘Big Blow’ Turbines were retired during the late 1960s/early 1970s and entering Water Tender service with the steam program in the 1980s, several 24C Tenders were painted MOW silver and repurposed for various duties around the UP system including water and fuel oil storage.
