Lionel 2431270 Union Pacific LEGACY FEF-3 #844 - Grey/Yellow
The ultimate development of the Northern type on
the Union Pacific, the FEF-3 class is one of the finest
examples of 4-8-4s to be found anywhere. These
fast and powerful machines powered both heavy
passenger and fast freights from 1944 until the end of
regular steam operations. The class was so successful
that Union Pacific chose No. 844 to carry on the
tradition of steam in special service and has never
retired the locomotive. It speaks not only to the
power of the locomotive but also its versatility and
utility compared to other well-known UP steam.
Back in the Lionel catalog for the first time since 2015,
the FEF-3 is the perfect stablemate for your Big Boy
and Challenger! Of course, we’re bringing back 844
in her most popular paint schemes as well as adding
some new ones. Along with Bluetooth and the latest
Legacy features, we’re also including new roadnumber
specific detailing, including Sellers water
heaters where appropriate, and even one in the
as-delivered look before those iconic smoke lifters
were added. Don’t miss another chance to add a
“living legend” to your roster!
