Description

Railroad Short Name: UP

This BLI model is of the Class CSA-2 Challenger, commonly called an “early challenger”.  Our models have a post-1947 appearance, after the locomotives were renumbered from 3900 to 3800 series.   We are offering three locomotive variations: four road numbers with the as-delivered front engine, four road numbers with a rebuilt front engine, and two road numbers with an integral cast cylinder front engine.   All of our models are oil-burners with 19,000 gallon cylindrical tenders.  We are also offering one painted but unlettered model of each variation, and we will build a small quantity of one model with all parts either varnished brass or painted brass.   This model will have the as-delivered front engine.
