Class SA-C-6 2-8-8-0 Bullmoose - Pre-1944 - Standard DC - Stealth -- Union Pacific #3548 (black, graphite)

This Broadway Limited HO Scale UP 2-8-8-0 Bullmoose Brass Hybrid steam locomotive is based on the Consolidation Mallets, known as "Bullmoose" on the Union Pacific to move tonnage across its mainline over Sherman Hill from Cheyenne to Laramie, Wyoming. The locomotive type was originally experimented with by the Santa Fe, but the railroad never ordered any. Great Northern and UP revised the designs and ordered several. UP crews developed the nickname for the locomotives Bullmoose because they had the ability to pull the heaviest of freight trains over the mountain grade. UP eventually rostered 70 of these Mallets, both built by its own shops or by American Locomotive Company (Alco). They first went into service in 1918 and received several upgrades over their service lives. They were eventually replaced by the 9000 series, Big Boys, and Challengers. The models come with era-appropriate applied details to represent several classes of the engines. This Stealth Series no-sound/DCC-ready mod
