Description
This is an AF 6-48047 S Scale Union Pacific 4-8-4 Northern Steam Locomotive & Tender. In 1937, the Union Pacific received its first 4-8-4 Northern locomotives. Designated FEF, the steamers quickly became legendary fast freight haulers on the vast western system. First modeled by American Flyer as 332 in 1946, the Northern became a hit on S gauge rails as well. Now, over half a century later, an updated version of this classic locomotive speeds down the American Flyer mainline. Using many of the original tooling dies, the 4-8-4 Northern is constructed almost entirely of diecast metal. This new reissue also includes the RailSounds sound system complete with whistle, bell and synchronized chuffing features. For operators who prefer a more traditional effect, the RailSounds sound system can be shut off revealing the rhythmic Choo-Choo sound of the mechanical puffing smoke unit. Features include operating couplers, classic A.C. Gilbert reissues, all-new innovative designs, transformer controlled forward, neutral and reverse operation, railSounds sound system with steam sounds, synchronized chuffing, crew announcement, brake squeal, whistle and bell, a powerful maintenance-free motor with momentum flywheel, an operating headlight, diecast metal locomotive body, frame, pilot and trucks, traction tires, puffing smoke unit with Choo-Choo sound, diecast metal tender body and frame and trucks.
