Why our Custom Run is Right for You:
Our #4013 was designed with many extra special features, in addition to the standard Vision Line specs (including the depleting coal load)!
Our engine is comparable in price to the regular Big Boys offered by Lionel for the 2023 catalog. We have added removable smoke shields that have the American Flag and "Building America" written on them "Big Boy" is written on the front. This is the only Big Boy with these symbols.
Our engine looks stunning with a silver stripe on the side all the way to where the engineer sits. The tender has stripes on top and bottom, and it says Union Pacific with the UP symbol. The bearings on the tender and steam chests are outlined in silver.
The best feature is the 4013 cab plate on the floor where the engineer sits-- this is unique among Big Boys this run. We're the only one that has it!
We are also doing a Vision line caboose (Order separately). It has the American Flag and the name Sherman Hill with the number 82072. That is the zip code for Sherman Hill, which was the highest elevation on the UP Stretch.

Check out our blog post overview
The #4013 was a real engine made for the Union Pacific Railroad in 1941 by ALCO. The Union Pacific Railroad was looking for an engine powerful enough to handle steep mountain grades at higher speeds, while pulling freight. The #4013 made its last run on July 21, 1959, after which it was retired and sold for scrap due to the replacement of steam locomotives with diesel models. The #4013 was one of 25 Big Boys that were scrapped.
For our custom run, we wanted to imagine what #4013 might look like today, if it hadn't been relegated to the scrap pile.
