Rivarossi 9219

Union Pacific "Big Boy 4014" 

The Rivarossi 9219 is a beautifully detailed N scale (1:160) model of the legendary Union Pacific "Big Boy" 4-8-8-4 steam locomotive – one of the largest and most powerful steam engines ever built.

🚂 The Prototype – A Giant of the Rails

Built in the early 1940s, the Union Pacific Big Boys were designed to haul heavy freight over the steep grades of the Wasatch Mountains in Utah. With their massive articulated frames, four cylinders, and a total length of over 40 meters, these locomotives became icons of American railroad history. Only 25 were ever built, and they remained in service until the late 1950s.
