During the late thirties Union Pacific often used auxiliary engines to haul trains from Ogden, Utah up a steep pass to Wasatch. U.P. wished to simplify this system and instructed their own development department to design a new locomotive capable of hauling a 3,600 ton train (max 4,200 tons) up the steep pass.

Or is it just a show piece?** A: In my opinion it’s just a show piece. **Q: Can anyone tell me the length of this kit please** A: With the tender it is 46 cm or 18 inches.
