MTH 80-3201-1 HO Scale Union Pacific 4-6-6-4 Steam Loco & Tender w/Proto-Sound 3 – Your Source for Gaming Essentials* Outlet

Description

Here is a MTH 80-3201-1 HO Scale Union Pacific 4-6-6-4 Steam Loco & Tender w/Proto-Sound 3. Cab number: 3979. The first Challengers were conceived in 1936 to replace the Union Pacific’s fleet of three-cylinder 4-12-2s (shown elsewhere in this catalog).

M.T.H. returns the Challenger in oil burning versions and a new technology package offering for those who prefer the AC 3-Rail Marlkin standard. While ours is not the first HO model of this massive prototype, we believe it is certainly the best, equipped with authentic articulated sounds, including the front and rear engines going in and out of sync; actual UP whistle sounds, which can be quilled, just as a real engineer plays the whistle control; die-cast construction and optional traction tires for pulling power to match the prototype; slow-speed capability down to a steady 3 scale miles per hour; and dozens of added-on metal detail parts.

Its key features are:
Die-cast boiler and tender body
Die-cast metal chassis
Die-cast truck sides
Authentic paint scheme & cab numbers
RP-25 metal wheels mounted on metal axles
Operating lighted marker lights
Constant voltage headlight

Proto-Sound 3.0 equipped locomotives can be controlled in command mode with any DCC compliant command control system. While the user won’t have access to all of the incredible features of Proto-Sound 3.0, independent control over the locomotive is possible. This means you can continue to use your existing DCC controller to independently control your other DCC equipped locomotives in addition to your Proto-Sound 3.0 locomotive on the same track at the same time.
