Cab number: 2916. The heaviest straight passenger locomotive ever produced, the famous Santa Fe 4-8-4 Northerns epitomized steam power. The steeply graded western lines of the Santa Fe required a locomotive with enormous power, and the Northern was the answer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first Northerns were delivered from Baldwin in 1927. By the 1940s, the new oil-burning 2900 series had arrived and were known as the largest 4-8-4s ever built. With their tremendous sixteen wheel tenders, these Northerns measured over 120 feet long and were often rostered for the entire journey from Chicago to Los Angeles, a distance of over 1,700 miles!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModeled after the Santa Fe 2900-class Northerns, these beautiful and powerful RailKing models are equipped with Proto-Sound 3.0 and its unmatched, industry-leading features.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDid you know?\u003cbr\u003eThe Santa Fe 2900-class weighed in at a massive 510,150lbs - the heaviest Northerns ever built - because the war effort caused a scarcity of lighter weight materials when these 4-8-4s were built in 1944.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eDie-cast metal chassis\u003cbr\u003eMetal wheels and axles\u003cbr\u003eMetal handrails and decorative bell\u003cbr\u003eDecorative metal whistle\u003cbr\u003eOperating marker lights\u003cbr\u003eDie-cast boiler and tender body\u003cbr\u003eConstant voltage headlight\u003cbr\u003eDie-cast truck sides\u003cbr\u003eColorful paint scheme\u003cbr\u003eRemote controlled Proto-Coupler®\u003cbr\u003eSynchronized puffing ProtoSmoker system\u003cbr\u003eLocomotive speed control in scale MPH increments\u003cbr\u003eEngineer cab figure\u003cbr\u003ePrecision flywheel equipped motor\u003cbr\u003eWireless drawbar\u003cbr\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 with the digital command system featuring: passenger station Proto-Effects\u003cbr\u003eUnit measures: 24'' x 2 1\/2'' x 3 1\/2''\u003cbr\u003eOperates on O-31 curves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteam DCC features:\u003cbr\u003eHeadlight on\/off\u003cbr\u003eBell on\/off\u003cbr\u003eWhistle\/horn on\/off\u003cbr\u003eStart-up\/shut-down\u003cbr\u003ePFA initiate and advance\u003cbr\u003eCab light on\/off\u003cbr\u003eEngine sounds on\/off\u003cbr\u003eVolume low, med, high, off\u003cbr\u003eSmoke on\/off\u003cbr\u003eForward signal sound\u003cbr\u003eReverse signal sound\u003cbr\u003eCoupler slack sound\u003cbr\u003eGrade crossing\u003cbr\u003eOne-shot Doppler on\/off\u003cbr\u003eExtended start up\u003cbr\u003eExtended shut down\u003cbr\u003eLabor chuff\u003cbr\u003eDrift chuff\u003cbr\u003eSmoke volume\u003cbr\u003eSingle short whistle toot\u003cbr\u003eCoupler close\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst introduced in the early 20th century, the 4-8-4 to rail yards by storm primarily hauling coal and other forms of freight across state lines in the US and rail-ways in various other countries.
