KATO 126-4014 Union Pacific Railroad Big Boy #4014

Exactly as described, Safely packaged with plenty of padding - Box and Kato train in showroom condition - awesome performance - looks magical when running and is the real centrepiece when it is on my layout.

20年振りでNゲージを買いました。以前から欲しかったSL KATOから再販されると聞いて予約しました。

前後別々のドライブユニットが、目を楽しませてくれます。曲線通過もスムースです。

やっと、KATOさんで製品化されました。 十分満足できる仕上がりで、眺めているだけで、楽しめてます。 チャレンジャーも製品化されたら、嬉しいです。

ありがとうございました

精密機械みたいです。当時のアメリカに行けたらと、思い馳せている。

せっかく細部まで丁寧に作られているのに、最後の塗装で実車とはかけ離れた物に成ってしまった、実車の動画を何本も見ているけれどボディーの色合いは実車とは全然違い、実車の迫力が損なわれてしまった、実車はこんな漆黒では無くほんの少しだけグレーがかった黒です、煙室もこんな鮮やかなシルバーでは無くダークグレーですね、煙室とボイラー部分の極端な色の違いがおもちゃチックに成ってしまい大変残念です、もっと実車の塗装を追求して欲しかったです。

Nゲージサイズなのに破格の価格でしたが、その出来栄えを見ればそんじょそこらのNとは違うのがわかります。とても精巧でとてもNゲージサイズとは思えない出来です。この製品にはお値段以上の価値があると思います。ただ、精巧すぎて走らせるのが非常に怖いです。

The Big Boy, what a sight to behold even in N gauge. It runs so smooth especially at low speeds, it's amazing to see all those coupling rods move. This has dual motors so it can pull a hefty amount of cars without a worry. Japanese Kato locos are always reliable and easy to work on compared to some other manufacturers made in China models. It comes with instructions and front swappable pilot with coupling. Highly recommended if you are a serious model railway enthusiast. Very happy with my purchase.

This is my first Kato locomotive, and to say I’m impressed is an understatement. The model is beautiful, and while this one is just DC without sound, it still is perfect. Can’t wait to get my layout properly built to run it more often. While it’s an expensive model, Kato makes sure it’s worth every penny. The mechanism is smooth, able to perform crawls just as easily as it can run at full speed. I don’t know its pulling power, I don’t have enough cars to test, but it ran fine with the full excursion carriage set as if it had no load. 5 stars, would recommend!

The KATO Union Pacific Big Boy in N scale is top of the line quality model train. The basic build of the model train is sturdy, mostly Diecast. The surface detail is Unbeat on this model.The connecting rods look amazing whether it’s stationary or moving. And this locomotive moves fast and hauls a lot of cars. The model works on Bachman tracks not just KATO track, which is great if you’re trying to save money on cheaper tracks. And I was able to get the coupler to latch onto the Bachman train cars. Overall, very very pleased worth the money.

Fantastic product , Excellent brand name , runs great! Definitely a wise purchase !!!

I have a standard box man snapped together, engage layout that I run under my Christmas tree. Two steam engines and one diesel, silver bullet all Kato trains. They just run so nice. The only problem I have is in reverse with my old homemade light it passenger cars are heavy and will make the big boy flex up. Which will make the front 4 weeks pop off the track. That’s my fault. I have probably 15 locomotives and this is by far my favorite. I can sit and watch it. Run around the track for hours. I’m pretty sure my curves are 11.25 and it runs around it great. The engine articulates like four different places. The detail is pretty dag on nice for $300 . I normally don’t post reviews on here. But I figured this was worthy if there’s someone out there like me that second-guessed. Now if you want to convert it to DCC, you better just buy one like that. It was a nightmare, taking it apart just to change the couplers over to the old style. Way easier to just convert a cold car over or something to have those couplers on it. Hope this review helps and happy new year everyone.
