N GEN 4-8-8-4 Big Boy Locomotive with DCC and Sound (ATHG-2260)

Genesis 4-8-8-4 Big Boy steam locomotive for N scale, with DCC and sound, is a faithful representation of Union Pacific’s iconic 4-8-8-4 big freight hauler. Designed to power heavy trains over steep grades on modern layouts, this ready-to-run model pairs authentic scale detail with reliable electronics for a convincing, hands-on railroading experience.

An onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound lets the engine run in both DC and DCC with full function control, including chuff, whistle, and bell sounds. It features a heavy die-cast frame for traction, a five-pole motor with precision flywheels, see-through running boards and cab windows, body-mounted knuckle couplers, and bidirectional LED headlights that stay bright at any speed. Road-number and Legendary Liveries options provide historically inspired schemes for variety, including iconic paint jobs from railway history, all built around prototype references and with an 11-inch minimum radius to fit most layouts.
