OUTDATED!

the Union Pacific Challenger. I for some reason like this much more than the Big Boy, also that would have been a pain in the butt to make.

the front 6driving wheels are articulated separately as is the first set of wheels on the tender (like in the real locomotive) this seems to make the train fairly stable, I have not had any derailments in unusual places, and it seems rock solid on flat track. However, I have not tested this with any load. Uses the regular diesel engine I use for all my trains. May need somehow upgrading or booting in the future when pulling loads.

Usual controlls, Lights, and fire glow from beacon controll.

Updates

1.1 - OK cool stability seems to have been fixed again during the last update, I made some minor changes to the underside, added new exhaust.

1.2 - Insted of just having independant trucks under this I have no seprated the front and made the entire front end a seprate articulated part like the real challenger, Also some small details such as more hand rails, and I finally fixed the random rail stuck to the back that was not ment to be there.

Just a small update on the update :| Because I forgot to color the white connectors black.
