@leedleface Well you can find a few Northerns on Ebay. If I recall there is a brand new Athearn UP 844 for $419.95. Just search (FEF) on ebay should work.
This engines is like impossible to find in it's gray and yellow scheme!!! I liked it better then the black version I guess I'll have to paint on myself which is going to be a hassle lol
I love HO scale. Anything bigger and everything starts looking rounded and toyish. Anything smaller and details start getting hard to see and even harder to produce. HO strikes the perfect balance. Now if only you could run them extremely slowly without worry about doing damage to the electric motors. I guarantee 844 never took off THAT fast.
@lionel6712020 Lionel is nice if you want to pay a $1,000 for a "TOY TRAIN" it's 3 rail and that is consider TOY TRAINS, ho scale has a lot of accurate replicas and they aren't junk unless you are buying Bachmann or Lionel HO scale
@rallygsc I could never pay $1000 for any locomotive model. Lionel is grossly overpriced crap anyway. Only fools pay that much for non-scale bubbled out toyish looking stuff.
i just bought one for my dad just today. Its the FEF-2 #826. ITs in grey and yellow without smoke deflectors. cant wait for him to see it on christmas =]
I've got a 4449,611,1225,3751 and a Niagra, and a Hudson. I'm still waiting to get a 844, big boy, challenger, and 4466. Do they make a Ho scale UP 4466?
You probably think im asking saying this, but i can't remember the name of the sheets of metal on the sides of the boiler, i just had it a minut ago, but i can not remember the name now for some reason.
finally someone who USES THE MARSLIGHT!!! (never once have I seen the real 844 use her mars-light, I suppose this is because it is for UDE's, but it just looks so much cooler with it going.
Great video, that's a nice looking locomotive to. Now I just have to wait for them to do another run with Tsuanmi(all future Athearn sound equiped models will thankfully be so equiped).
My goal is to get the Sp 4449 daylight, Up 844 and UP 3985 in HO scale with sound and smoke and mars light with those that have it. Now all i need is some money.
This is a beautiful locomotive, except for one shortcoming...the large open (see-through) area immediately above the engine's trailing truck. The real locomotive has no such glaring space. Otherwise, the 4-8-4 is a gem!
haha, good to see SOMEONE using 844's mars light! it looks rather nice, if it wasn't for emergencies I would want the real 844 to have it on when running.
dude your name is craigfucker88 that sounds really gay! have you lost your mind? these vids are aweosme! but than agian you can never lose what you didnt have...
DCC right? I need to upgrade! Nice engine! Who made it? ( I mean the real engine, not the model) Alco right? I know they did the Challengers and Big Boys but what about the FEF series?
Good model, but the sound system (mainly the cuffing) isn't syncronized to the drive wheels (should be at 4 chuffs per revolution). Check out MTH's HO engines with ProtoSound 3.0! The best sound and control ever!
OK, who makes this?, where can I find it with sounds and that red light thingy blinks?,can it pull a long passenger train?, and what's the radius to the curve's? I know it's a lot of questions, but I'm so fired up about it.
That is a sweet loco. I've got a challenger and would like to get an AC6000 from BLI. might get one of those too because MR (model railroader) says it pulls like 170 cars on straight and level track you should try that
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
