The Challengers were about 122 ft (37 m) long and weighed 284,800 kg. Primarily in freight service, they operated over most of the Union Pacific system. A few were assigned to passenger trains operating through mountain territory to California and Oregon. The locomotives were built specifically for UP and much of the experience gained later went into the design of the famous Big Boy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Challenger was given to steam locomotives with a 4-6-6-4 wheel arrangement. This means that they have four wheels in the leading pilot truck, which helps guide the locomotive into curves, two sets of six driving wheels, and finally four trailing wheels, which support the rear of the engine and its massive firebox. Each set of six driving wheels is driven by two steam cylinders. In essence, the result is two engines under one boiler. The Union Pacific Railroad sponsored development of this type to meet the need for higher speeds in main-line service. Historically, articulated locomotives had been limited to slow speeds by factors inherent in their design. The technical breakthroughs achieved with the Challenger enabled the carrier to develop the Big Boy with the same speed expectations. Speeds in excess of 60 M.P.H., while unheard-of on other railroads using articulated steam locomotives, became commonplace on the Union Pacific.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT INFORMATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie Cast Body with Heavy Die Cast chassis for Maximum Tractive Effort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie Cast Tender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront coupler: option of closed pilot door, working metal coupler, plastic dummy coupler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear coupler: working metal coupler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately Applied Handrails, Ladders, Whistle, and Brass Bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Cab Roof Vents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill Operate on Code 70, 83, and 100 rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Minimum Radius: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraction tire equipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eINDUSTRY-LEADING FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW Paragon3 Sound \u0026amp; Operation System FEATURING ROLLING THUNDERTM with Authentic Sounds and Prototypical Operation in both DC and DCC environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynchronized PUFFING SMOKE with Chuff Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate whistle smoke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable Puffing Smoke Intensity and timing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegral DCC Decoder with Back EMF for Industry Best Slow Speed Operation in DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision Drive Mechanism engineered for continuous heavy load towing and smooth slow speed operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful High Torque Motor with Fly Wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium Caliber Painting with Authentic Paint Schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypical Light Operation with Golden White LED Headlight, Rear Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighted number boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighted front marker lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighted rear marker lights (red to the back and green to the sides)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighted cab light (with auto shut off)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory Installed Engineer and Fireman Figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eINDUSTRY-LEADING SOUND FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperates in DC \u0026amp; DCC\u003c\/strong\u003e(use DCMaster for DC Sound)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecord \u0026amp; Play Operation\u003c\/strong\u003e- Records and plays back sounds and movements once or repeatedly for automatic operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16-bit Sample Rate\u003c\/strong\u003efor exceptional high frequency sound clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayback WhistleM\u003c\/strong\u003efor multiple whistle lengths and patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoice of \u003cstrong\u003e3 selectable Whistles\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlternate Whistle \/ Horn\u003c\/strong\u003ewhere applicable for locomotive with air horn and steam whistle - both the main whistle and alternate can be easily played\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable bell ringing interval\u003c\/strong\u003efor faster or slower bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumerous user-mappable\u003c\/strong\u003efunctions with available keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJohnson Bar or Power Reverse Sound\u003c\/strong\u003eat Direction Change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePassenger Station Ambient Sounds\u003c\/strong\u003e- Controlled with Function Key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreight Yard related radio chatter\u003c\/strong\u003e- Controlled with Function Key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLumber Yard Ambient Sounds\u003c\/strong\u003e- Controlled with Function Key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarm related radio chatter\u003c\/strong\u003e- Controlled with Function Key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrew Radio Communications\u003c\/strong\u003e- Controlled with Function Key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance Yard related radio chatter\u003c\/strong\u003e- Controlled with Function Key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDemo Mode\u003c\/strong\u003efor display and demonstrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade Crossing Automatic Signal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSimple Programming\u003c\/strong\u003ewith Integral DCC Decoder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic Forward \/ Reverse Signal\u003c\/strong\u003e- When activated, stopping triggers and stop whistle toot.
