FAQ
What is the "Turbine Commemorative" scheme?
Union Pacific applied this colorful Armour Yellow with red-and-white striping scheme to commemorate the railroad's massive gas turbine-electric "Big Blow" locomotives - 8,500 HP behemoths that hauled freight across the western mainlines from the late 1940s through 1970.
What era does this car fit?
PS-1 boxcars were built from 1947 through the 1960s and remained in service for decades. This scheme places it firmly in transition-era through modern UP rosters.
Will the couplers work with my Kadee fleet?
Yes - the included knuckle couplers are body-mounted and Kadee-compatible, mating with virtually any standard HO scale knuckle coupler.
Is this DCC compatible?
This is an unpowered freight car, so it runs on any DC or DCC layout - no electronics inside.
