Union Pacific's 8,500-horsepower monster: this ScaleTrains Museum Quality set reproduces GTEL "Big Blow" gas-turbine #30 with factory-installed sound.
What sets this model apart is the museum-quality detailing applied to the complete three-unit set: the A control unit with its cab, the B unit housing the massive turbine, and the 24,000-gallon fuel tender that trailed them. The pinnacle of UP's 1960s Turbine Era, these machines produced 8,500 HP burning heavy Bunker C fuel oil — and their jet-engine roar, reproduced by the onboard sound system, earned them their nickname.
Features
- Three-unit set: A unit, B unit and fuel tender — HO scale
- Union Pacific scheme, unit #30
- Museum Quality line — extreme detailing
- Powered version with factory-installed DCC and sound
- Working lighting and separate details
- Made by ScaleTrains (item SXT70013-6)
