During the late 1930's, Union Pacific often used auxiliary locomotives to haul trains from Ogden, Utah to Wasatch over a steep pass. UP wanted to simplify this system and commissioned their own development department to design a new locomotive that could pull a 3,600 t train (up to a maximum of 4,200 t) up the steep pass. The 25 Big Boy locomotives were built in 2 groups. The first group, called Class 1, was built from 1941. The second group (Class 2) was built in 1944. The last freight train hauled by a Big Boy engine was in July 1959. Most Big Boy were decommissioned in 1961.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Revell Union Pacific Big Boy Locomotive in 1:87 scale is a highly detailed model kit that allows hobbyists to recreate the iconic steam locomotive in miniature form.
