Powerful can motor with a bellshaped armature and a flywheel, mounted in the boiler. 8 axles powered. 4 traction tires. Articulated frame to enable the unit to negotiate sharp curves. The driving axles have Boxpok wheels. The middle driving axles are spring loaded. The headlight, the backup light on the tender, and the number boards are maintenance-free LED's. 2 smoke generators can be installed in the locomotive. The headlight and the smoke generator contact will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. The steam locomotive sound effects, which vary with the speed of the locomotive, the bell and whistle, the number board lights and the cab lighting as well as the acceleration and braking delay can be controlled digitally. The tender has a powerful speaker with adjustable volume. Coupler hooks can be plugged into the pilot. There is a close coupling between the locomotive and tender. The steam lines swing out with the cylinders. Separately applied grab irons made of metal. Many separately applied details. Figures of a locomotive engineer and fireman for the cab as well as a plug-in model knuckle coupler (Kadee-compatible) for coupling to the cars are included.

TRIX C Track:
18 each of 62172 straight track, 16 each of 62188 straight track, 12 each of R3 curved track. 1 feeder wire set.Notes about operation: The locomotive can be used on curves with a radius as small as 360 mm / 14-3/16", but we recommend using larger radius curves. The overhang of the long boiler requires that you place signals, catenary masts, bridge railings, tunnel portal cutouts, etc. at a sufficient distance from the curves. In addition, the larger than normal weight of the locomotive requires that the track be mounted on a strong enough base.The model train in this Magnum Set is designed for European NEM two-rail track.

Prototype information
The American Dream on a Long Run - The truly gigantic locomotives of the Union Pacific"s class 4000 with their length at 40.5 meters / 132 feet 10-1/2 inches have been one of the unforgettable legends of the steam locomotive era. The respectful designation "Big Boy" appears quite apt due to the locomotive's impressive dimensions as well as its immense pulling power. Each of the 25 giants built by American Locomotive Co. (ALCO) between 1941 and 1944 ran off more than 1 million miles during the course of their service life. The 8 Big Boys still preserved in museums still bear witness today to the might of these steam locomotives, the largest in the world. TRIX fans can also experience the living impression of this powerful machine pulling its train effortlessly across long routes with the Magnum Set, which includes a typical American freight train consist in addition to the H0 Big Boy as well as a particularly large TRIX C Track layout with enough track for a route somewhat over a half a mile in H0 Scale.
