The Union Pacific Big Boy is the largest successful steam locomotive ever built. Twenty-five were delivered from 1941 to 1944 to haul heavy freight over Sherman Hill, and their 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement let them do it without helpers. Number 4014 is the one everybody knows, restored to steam in 2019 and still touring today.
Broadway Limited models it in N scale with the detail and mechanism the prototype deserves.
