-Details and Figures:The model features mounted metal handles and comes with figures of an engineer and a stoker for the cab.
-Versatility:The locomotive can be used on curved rails with a radius from 360 mm, but for optimal performance a larger radius is recommended. Due to the size of the Big Boy, signals, overhead line masts, bridge railings, tunnel portals and other objects must maintain sufficient distance from the rails. Sturdy rail mounting is necessary due to the high weight of the locomotive. Turntable and overhead bridge can only be used in the drive-through position.
The Märklin 37997 Big Boy UP comes in a wooden cassette and is a striking showpiece for any model railway. With his realism and power he brings the grandeur of the railway past to life. Products bearing "Union Pacific" are made under trademark license from the Union Pacific Railroad Company.
