Overview
Towards the end of WWI, the 2-10-2 type locomotive had gained popularity with
railroads that were faced with heavy tonnage trains. Union Pacific was among
those railroads that recognized the benefits of the design, eventually rostering
144 locomotives in seven sub-classes, TTT-1 through TTT-7, with "TTT"
designating the Two-Ten-Two wheel arrangement. The TTT-6 and TTT-7 classes were
the last and largest classes, with a combined total of 83 units from three
different builders. Weighing an average of 300,000 lbs, the TTTs had 63" drivers
and a tractive effort of 70,450 lbs. The Union Pacific TTTs received many
modifications through their careers, including revised stacks, pilots, buffers
and tenders. The locomotives served Union Pacific until 1956, and one
locomotive, UP 5511, has been retained as part of the UP Historical Locomotive
Collection. These HO scale models will be offered as the locomotives existed
late in their careers, with all the prototypical modifications.
Production Schedule
Delivery is scheduled for Winter 2007.
