The Finest 4-8-4 "Northerns" Ever Built UP's Legendary FEF-3
Laughing past the speed limits, the flying mass of steam and steel bears down. A banshee whistle screams. A heartbeat blur of rods, drivers and dust... and its gone. A machine-gun burst of wheels clattering on rails chases it out of town. Red markers trail into the distance and quiet returns.
Imagine the thrill as a million pounds of 4-8-4 approaches at 100 mph! From delivery in late 1944 to fantrip service today, UPs legendary class FEF-3, (Four-Eight-Four, 3rd Series) Northerns have delighted generations of modelers and railfans.
Examine these superb, new HO Scale replicas from Rivarossi. Completely revised with an all-new drive, DCC-ready electronics and more realistic detail, they're a must for any collection of steam power. And with three authentic schemes to choose from, you'll discover new possibilities for creating realistic passenger trains in the steam, transition and modern era.
The last new steam loco built for the UP, #844 returned triumphantly to the rails on her first fantrip in 1960. Never officially retired, she's carefully maintained and still travels the UP mainline, providing a glimpse of the glory days of steam for a new generation.
This superb model comes painted in the Modern Excursion Scheme of black with dark graphite smokebox and firebox. A fantrip is a great way to model steam on the most contemporary layout and this loco will look great pulling cars from sets 635-6997 and 635-6998, both sold separately. Matching add-on cars are also available to build a longer train.
