REMINDER PRE-ORDER DEADLINE - Kato - N Scale - UP FEF-3 #844, Water Tender 2-Car Set, & Excursion Train 7-Car Set

Dear N Scale Customers;

A reminder for Today, Friday, March 31^st is the pre-order deadline for Kato's N Scale re-issue of Union Pacific’s Excursion Version FEF-3 #844 as well as the Union Pacific Water Tender 2-Car Set and the UP 7-Car Excursion Train Set.

It’s back! – One of the most recognizable and famous UP Steam Locomotives, the FEF (Four-Eight-Four) is returning for Fall 2023 from Kato USA! Featuring a number of revolutionary design innovations, including a coreless motor with dual flywheels for silky-smooth side-rod operation at any speed (even a slow crawl!), Inside bearing wheels (where appropriate), and a special articulated undercarriage on the unique, 14-wheel Tender to allow the locomotive to navigate 11” (282mm) curves! It will be fully DCC friendly and ready to accept drop in DCC decoders!

Also being re-issued for the FEF & Big Boy locomotives:

Water Tender two-pack and Union Pacific Excursion Train!

The Water Tenders are Kato USA's most recent design and will be sold as a two-pack for modelers to supplement their FEF-3 or other UP steam locomotives, such as the 4-8-8-4 Big Boy. Just like the prototype models, the two tenders are not identical, having (in addition an externally mounted American Flag plate) different weld mark details which will be replicated on the models of the two cars, ensuring that their unique spirit is preserved when translated into model form. An optional DCC-friendly headlight PCB will be available to allow the tender’s lights to be illuminated as well!

Union Pacific Excursion Train

The third component of this Union Pacific re-release will be Kato USA's 7-car UP Excursion Train. This set features our latest tooling for the Power Car (a modified/rebuilt Baggage Dormitory car prototypically used for providing head end power to the trailing cars) and a UP Business car "Kenefick." These will form the form the head and tail of the excursion consist, which will also include notable cars like the vibrantly decorated Promontory Museum car, with its full-body American Flag wrap, and a pair of Dome cars.
