Union Pacific N scale KATO 4-8-4 FEF-3 UP # xxx Custom painted and decaled in Two Tone Gray. This has been bench tested as I dont have the radius to support this size of locomotive. This is a very difficult project and decaling the stripes can make you crazy. Ive done a number of these and nearly perfected this scheme. With that being said this is a paint job that needs to be left to the experts as the entire locomotive gets torn down to the frame. The lines and paint brakes are just about as perfect as anyone can get. Ive also got the paint colors for this project dialed in almost perfectly. I always say if you want a perfect project or model give the project to someone that is passionate about the project. Thats me for this project. I take on a lot of projects but this one is my absolute favorite. There is still a lot of opportunities with this model that can be added. I also repaint the front of the boiler as the prototypes do not have a silver boiler on the front. The whistle is painted to mirror the prototype. The Drivers come painted with a white ring around the edge, thats repainted black. The lights on the tender are painted correctly with a red light on the top of the tender and a yellow light illuminated on tender body. I can do these in any number so if there is a number that you dream about lets make it a reality. I also do a lot of trading. Hit me up with what you have and lets work it out. Here is Katos product details. The Kato N Scale FEF-3 follows in the footsteps of its Southern Pacific 4-8-4 cousin, refining the basic concept of a high-power, flexible steam locomotive which is easily upgradable to DCC by coupling a special, isolated coreless motor drive system with heavy duty flywheels and a flexible cross-braced suspension system that gives the locomotive a high torque, high traction grip that ensures constant and consistent pressure spread across the primary drivers. Another benefit of the coreless motor system is that the locomotive will have an extremely low starting voltage, giving the locomotive slow creeping speeds that will allow modelers to appreciate the complex arrangement of moving side rods that make steam operation so exciting. Other features, such as the locomotive’s unique “Centipede” style tender being fitted with special articulation mechanisms that appear seamless when observed but will bend and flex to allow the locomotive to navigate tighter corners than should otherwise be possible! New coreless motor design with dual brass flywheels for silky-smooth performance at all speeds, even slow crawls. Special cross-braced shock absorbers equalize the pressure on the locomotive drivers to maximize traction. Illuminated headlight and locomotive numberboards. DCC friendly design, allowing for easy drop-in installation of DCC. 11″ (282mm) Minimum turning radius on ground level track, 15″ (381mm) Minimum turning radius on Viaduct track.
