The first class, designated FEF-1 (for Four-Eight-Four), consisted of locomotives 800–819. Equipped with 77-inch drivers and a 300-psi boiler, these locomotives impressed UP enough to order 15 additional engines between August and October 1939. These locomotives, numbered 820–834, featured 80-inch drivers and larger 14-wheel centipede tenders with a 23,500-gallon capacity and were designated FEF-2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn December 1944, ten additional 4-8-4 locomotives were delivered, numbered 835–844. These engines featured low-backpressure double stacks and were designated FEF-3. All three classes developed an impressive 63,800 pounds of tractive effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis production run features several historically accurate variations of Union Pacific No. 844 from its early excursion career. These include the locomotive in black with an aluminum smokebox as it appeared from 1962 to 1987, including the period when it was renumbered to 8444. Also included is the locomotive’s iconic “Greyhound” appearance from 1987 to 1989, again during its time as No. 8444, followed by its later Greyhound scheme from 1989 to 1991 after being renumbered back to No. 844, just before it was repainted black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the many versions of No. 844 \/ 8444, we are also offering several other prototypically accurate road numbers, along with a limited selection of fantasy schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eModels will be available with Paragon4 Sound DC\/DCC with Smoke, as well as in our Stealth DCC-Ready series.
