Description

This is MTH 30-4228-0 O-27 2-8-0 Freight Set w/LS, UP. 2-8-0 steam freight R-T-R train set with Loco-Sound, Union Pacific. On May 10, 1869, the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads met at Promontory Point, Utah to complete the first transcontinental railroad. Wagon trains and clipper ships were no longer the only way to the West Coast. More than a century later, the Central Pacific is gone but the Union Pacific is the largest railroad in North America, with more than 8,000 locomotives, 100,000 freight cars, and 32,000 miles of track in 23 states. Due to shared motive power agreements with other railroads, its famous Armour Yellow diesels can be spotted anywhere from Los Angeles to Boston. Proud of its long history, the UP also operates a Heritage Fleet of locomotives that includes Challenger No. 3985, the world’s largest operating steam locomotive – soon to be joined by an even larger UP Big Boy that is currently under restoration.

Recreate the excitement of steam era railroading in the American West with this Union Pacific freight set that includes a rugged 2-8-0 steam locomotive with puffing smoke synchronized to the drive wheel revolutions; Proto-Speed Control for smooth and steady speeds from a crawl to full throttle; traction tires for tremendous pulling power; headlight to light up the night; and a full range of sounds from wailing whistle and clanging bell to squealing brakes and crew conversations.
