UP FEATURES: Beacon (Flash function in DCC only)Classification lights (Function in DCC only)Working Truck lights Number board lights Separate see-through air intake grillsMU hoses Due to the increase of better highways in the 1950’s the trucking industry was beginning to siphon off time sensitive traffic from the railroads. Consequently, in the late 1950’s the Union Pacific began seeking ways to increase the horsepower of their locomotives in order to help improve train speeds without having to add more locomotives to their trains. One method to achieve these goals was to mount two complete prime movers on one chassis. UP asked the 3 major locomotive builders at that time to submit proposals using this concept. In response, General Electric created their 5,000-horsepower U50 model, a design which utilized two 2500-horsepower prime movers. Starting in September 1963, UP purchased a total of 23 U50’s, all of which were retired by the mid-1970’s. There were few changes made to these units during their time on the UP but one, #41, suffered from a significant fire and had to be repainted. It was the only one to receive UP’s 1970’s era slogan, “We Can Handle It.” ROAD NUMBER SPECIFIC FEATURES: #41 Only U50 to receive the “We Can Handle it” slogan #47 “Dependable Transportation” slogan #52 “Dependable Transportation” slogan U50 SERIES LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES: Illuminated truck lightsIlluminated classification lights Illuminated number boardsSee-through air intakes4-cube speakersMinimum radius: 18” — Recommended radius: 22”.GENESIS DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES: Coupler cut leversMU hosesTrainline hoseSee-through cab windowsFull cab interiorWalkway treadWindshield wipersWire grab ironsDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connectorFine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearanceDetailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, breather pipes, and retention tanksBody-mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplersGenesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain for trouble free operationAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth and quiet operationAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flowWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of trackLED Lighting for trouble free operationHeavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power Scaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and moreAccurately-painted and –printed paint schemesFully-assembled and ready-to-runPackaging securely holds the model for safe storage.
