Get your hands on the biggest and strongest "legend" in railway history. The gigantic steam locomotive Big Boy is brought back to life in an astounding 46.4cm scale.
This legendary locomotive was so large during the golden age of transcontinental railroads that it was named "BIG BOY" after being graffitied on it. This impressive sight has been meticulously recreated as a 1/87 scale kit by Revell, a company beloved by modelers worldwide. The over 46cm chunk of iron lying on the desk is breathtakingly impressive, even for those who aren't train fans.
Three reasons to choose this product
1. HO scale shows off the precision of the mechanism It faithfully reproduces the details of the boiler, the interior of the driver's cab, and the complex wheel arrangement of the "4-8-8-4" that is the greatest symbol of the Big Boy, which cannot be fully expressed in N gauge.
2. "87 parts" to enjoy the thrill of assembly This challenging "Level 3 (for experienced builders)" model is a hobby for adults, allowing you to create your own unique vintage texture using glue and paint.
3. Collectors can rest assured that the product has been inspected in Japan and is brand new and unopened. We import directly from overseas via authorized channels.

■ Work/product background
Big Boy is one of the largest steam locomotives in railroad history. Developed by the Union Pacific Railroad to pull 3,600-ton freight trains up steep grades without a helper locomotive, a total of 25 cars were manufactured between 1941 and 1944, boasting an impressive maximum power output of 6,290 horsepower . No. 4014 made a miraculous comeback in 2019 and is still in operation today as a "living legend." This model condenses the power of the real train into 1/87 scale, from its huge boiler, front cowcatcher, and tender (coal car). Because it conforms to the standard HO scale (16.5mm gauge), it's fun to compare its enormity with other products.
