If ever a locomotive were worthy of a VISION model, it is the Niagara. Lionel delivers with the most innovative rendition of these marvels to date. Redesigned from the inside out, our new Niagaras will be the envy of every model railroad’s operating department. Exciting new features include a new safety valve steam effect which will pop off automatically, a force coupler feature which will increase or decrease the labor effects on the locomotive based on drawbar pull and a new simulated water-scoop spray effect to capture the drama of one of the Niagara’s 80mph track pan fill-ups! You’ll also enjoy incredible sounds from three speakers located in the tender and smokebox, and fan-driven smoke and whistle steam. The gearboxes of these locomotives have also been redesigned for reliable performance. And now your LEGACY-equipped locomotive can also be run with the Universal Remote or LionChief App thanks to its Bluetooth control option. Available in three road numbers, an unpainted pilot version and a “what if” 20th Century Limited-style scheme, don’t miss your chance to own one of these models. This is the ultimate steam locomotive!

What set the 25 Big Boys apart from other massive steam locomotives was not just its size but its purpose. The Union Pacific wanted a single locomotive capable of pulling 3,600 ton trains between Ogden and Wasatch.
Railroad engineers and of course fans traveled to the hills of Wyoming from around the world to see these engineering marvels. The Big Boys spent their entire careers in this role and on this specific line – if for no other reason than no turntable or roundhouse track existed anywhere else on the system that could accommodate their 132’ 9 1/4” length! While their territory was limited, their fame was not.
Unfortunately for the Big Boys, the Union Pacific would ultimately find its “jack-of-all-trades” locomotive solution along with the rest of the railroads in the diesel-electric. The last revenue run of a Big Boy came in 1959. While some remained on the roster for an emergency call that never came, by 1962 the eight survivors could be found only in museums.
Each of Lionel’s new Vision Line Big Boys represents one of these surviving legends. This includes No. 4014 – which may one day soon run under its own power along Union Pacific’s mainline. The locations for the others are as follows: UP 4004 – Cheyenne, WY | UP 4005 – Denver, CO | UP 4006 – St. Louis, MO | UP 4012 – Scranton, PA | UP 4014 – Pomona, CA – Cheyenne, WY | UP 4017 – Green Bay, WI | UP 4018 – Frisco, TX

Our lofty goal today is the same as it was in the early days of Lionel–to create the most innovative, ground-breaking model trains in the world. To complete the circle of excellence begun in Lionel’s earliest days, we proudly present the Vision 700E Scale Hudson, equipped with some of the most sophisticated and innovative features ever offered in model trains. As a VISION Line locomotive, the legendary Lionel scale J1-e has been re-engineered to give you the most authentic, technically advanced Hudson ever made, with unprecedented operational realism and user control. Equipped with the Lionel LEGACY Control System, a full array of lighting options, smoke and steam effects, and other features are synchronized to the unequaled, ultra-realistic RailSounds sound system.
Using much of the tooling that built the first 700E, Lionel offers the new scale J1-e in the original #5344 number. In addition, the Vision Scale Hudson is also available in a 763E-inspired gunmetal grey paint scheme.

These earliest Challengers, some 60 in total, proved their worth on the steep grades of the Wasatch Mountains, showing clearly that the big brute 4-6-6-4 engines had more power and speed than their predecessors.
In 1943, twenty five additional ALCO Challengers arrived at the Union Pacific Railroad. These locomotives were initially designed as coal burners thanks to plentiful Wyoming coalfields. In 1944, however, some “Greyhound” Challengers of U.P. were converted to burn oil for Los Angeles passenger service, where they often exceeded 80 miles per hour speeds. The U.P. Challengers hauled passenger and freight consists through the late 1950s.

The massive front cylinders on the CC2s were positioned unusually high, which insured adequate track clearance when the locomotive was in operation. While 0-8-8-0 engines were replaced over time by simple powered articulated steam engines, a number of these “big bruisers” continued to pull heavy transfer runs and service the hump yards through the 1940s.

Besides its enormous size, one of the most arresting features of the 2-10-10-2 was the sleek “turtleback” tender that serviced the loco. With rounded sides and rear, and an overall modern appearance, turtleback tenders had a clean, streamlined look that was years ahead of its time. Most eye-catching was the distinctive cow-catcher fitted on the rear of the tender. With this locomotive, Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway discovered the limits of the compound mallet locomotive experiment. While their tractive effort was phenomenal, the engines suffered in overall speed. Simply put, the under-designed boiler and firebox could not make steam fast enough to power the massive cylinders at higher speeds. Ultimately, 3000-class mallets were relegated mainly to helper service in California on the Cajon Pass and on the Tehachapi Loop. By 1918, all ten “magnificent failures” were converted back to 2-10-2 locomotives. The unique turtleback tenders, however, lived on throughout the steam era to service a large assortment of Santa Fe engines.
