  Hello everyone,today I would like you introduce you our new product,the X4023

Big Boy steam locomotive model,which also known as the Union Pacific Big Boy set.

   

 The Union Pacific Big Boy is a type of simple articulated 4-8-8-4 steam locomotive manufactured

by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) between 1941 and 1944 and operated

by the Union Pacific Railroad in revenue service until 1962.

The 25 Big Boy locomotives were built to haul freight over the

Wasatch mountains between Ogden, Utah and Green River, Wyoming.

X4023 is the only surviving Big Boy from the second group built in 1944,

and the only Big Boy known to have been moved by highway.Surviving Tender No. 25-C-105. 

Gulo Gulo Big Boy locomotive,is consisting of 1608 pieces of parts,it is static version without

motor.  All the parts in this set are clearly divided into different bags according to building steps.

Before assembling the set,let's take a look at the parcel content.

As can be seen in the picture,there are 6 large bags,6 tracks,

34 extra parts,1 instruction book plus 1 sticker.

Ok,now let's open each bags to assemble.

During the process of assembly,please pay attention to step 83,the white part

in second line is actually grey color.

Also,in step 87 and step 114,the green parts are are mainly used for fixing

and need to be removed in step 92 and step 118. 

The assembly is complete, now let us go to another place to enjoy the building blocks. 

From the outside, this set of blocks is quite restored.The machine body can be disassembled

into 3 sections, which can be quickly disassembled and installed. 

Cause this model is without motor,it reduce much fun,but when you

push the locomotive,it can move fluently,would still be a 

great collection for all train fan.
