KTM-USA Union Pacific Big Boy 4-8-8-4 steam locomotive in scale 0, with weathered finish and original packaging.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Offered here is a KTM model of the American super steam locomotive BIG BOY in 0 gauge!!!
In real life, this locomotive belongs to Union Pacific and carries road number 4004.
If you want to see it running in real life, you’ll have to take an adventurous trip to the East Coast of the US.
The locomotive is rarely offered at auction.
You can find it in N or HO scale, but not in 0 gauge.
It’s also a behemoth: 4-8-8-4 (12 axles, 8 of them powered!) for the locomotive, and 4-10 (7 axles) for the tender
(coal/water car). Altogether, it’s a 19-axle model.
The locomotive is made entirely of metal, with no significant non-metal parts, such as a light bulb.
It’s a rugged model, with plenty of details, though not to the degree, for example, that Märklin applies.
The model is heavily weathered; the previous owner wanted a tough-looking locomotive, and that’s certainly what this has become.
The total length is an impressive 88 cm, and the locomotive weighs approximately 10 kg.
The powerful motors ensure that the locomotive runs smoothly and has enough power to pull a string of passenger or freight cars.
The locomotive has been tested, runs smoothly, and works perfectly.
The lighting, though quite basic on this locomotive, works.
Included are a bag of small spare parts (for the lighting, etc.) and a bag of real coal for the tender.
This KTM-USA model, which originally retailed for $5,500, will be shipped in its Original Packaging.
The photos form an important part of the description.
