KATO 12605-2 UP FEF-3 Steam Locomotive

The FEF-3 is a large passenger steam locomotive of the Union Pacific Railroad, a huge American railroad.
It was used for passenger traction and was active, but from around Showa 25 (1950), with the rise of diesel locomotives, it continued to be active for the last time in operation centered on freight traction.
The dynamic preservation machine #844 is currently based in the Cheyenne Engine District, Wyoming, and is active in pulling event trains. The Excursion Train is an event train consisting of 1950 cars that have been remodeled and preserved from the 7s railway passenger transportation and the very early days, and it transports human resources and equipment necessary for operation support, a museum car introducing the Union Pacific Railroad, a power supply car, and at the end, a passenger car with an observation deck called a business car. In addition, when running event trains, the excursion train and the water tender (water tank) that carries the water essential for the operation of the steam locomotive are connected.
