Lionel Union Pacific 4-12-2 #9000

Here is a video of a Lionel Union Pacific 4-12-2 steam locomotive.

This locomotive was made by Lionel in 2002. It features Railsounds, TrainMaster Command Control (TMCC), Odyssey speed control, a fan driven smoke unit, a wireless tether connecting the locomotive to the tender, and an operating ElectroCoupler on the rear of the tender.

These 3 cylinder locomotives were the longest rigid frame locomotives to operate in the United Sates. The Union Pacific owned 88 of them. They were built by the Brooks Works of the American Locomotive Company, otherwise known as ALCo, in Dunkirk, New York from 1926 to 1930. The Union Pacific was the first and only railroad to own these locomotives and they became known as the Union Pacific type. Today one of these locomotives is preserved at the Los Angeles County Fairplex in Pomona, California.

The train this locomotive is pulling in this video is made up of rolling stock from Atlas O, Lionel, MTH Electric Trains and Weaver Models.

The track is K-Line tubular with 0-81 curves.

It's also being operated with Lionel Legacy.

Thanks for watching. Comments and questions are always welcome.

Thanks for the comment.  Yes, these were large locomotives. They were one of the largest rigid frame locomotives ever built.

@ELECTRICOTION

Can you do another video of it?

[rj2571]

@bigsteam5344

In case you haven't seen it, I do have a second video of this locomotive uploaded that does have better picture quality. But who knows, maybe I'll try and make another.

nice vid dude!!

First, if you'll indulge me, this engine had six, not four exhausts per revolution of the driving wheels. Second, that is not the whistle sound those engines carried. No, they had 5-chime whistles.

@rj2571 OK I Will look I like this engine.

A 3 cylinder steam locomotive should have 6 chuffs per revolution. Even though this is not prototypical with only 3 chuffs per revolution , it's still a nice locomotive in my opinion.
