Union Pacific Big Boy #4014 vs N&W Class A (Trainz)

Published 2019-05-05
May of 2019 is commemorable since the Union Pacific 'Big Boy #4014 is completely restored to operation and her first excursion run will begin in this month during the 150th anniversary of the First Transcontinental Railroad's completion!

To celebrate the reborn of UP #4014, we made this video of a causal "excursion race" between the UP Big Boy and an N&W Class A #1242 (instead of #1218), one of the N&W Class A that didn't survive from the torch; in memory of all the beautiful steam engine that didn't escape the fate of being scrapped.

Due to the limitation of Trainz simulator, both engines excessed its design top speed (a lot!).

The UP #4014 is a rather old freeware available on Trainz DLS.
N&W A Class 2-6-6-4 is a product of K&L Trainz.

A video for fun, thank you for watching! : )

  • Ah man it's good to see a new video of you back Jones the Big boy sure did make everyone who lives right by a rail make him hope the train comes by👏👏👏😉👍 Btw:the quality is even better than I was thinking good job man👌😎
  • Awesome race of the two Giants from both sides of the country! It would be great now if someone commissioned a great model of the y6b for trainz

    Now wait just one minute... Did 4014 just do 100mph? P.S Thanks for doing the video I requested I loved it! :)

    BigBoy would out do the A on its own! Heck an Allegheny would out pull the A but it would be close. Now a BigBoy and a Y6 would be a match. Depends on Grade and if Speed matters. I do like the Y6 and the A though.
  • Why is 844 behind 4014? 4014 can handle more than the Class A on its own...
  • @aaron-prime117
    The last class A is still preserved on Norfolk and western today
  • @Pepsiboi160
    try this sp cab forward 4294 and sp 4449 VS up big boy 4014 and up 844
  • Does anyone else know that they are only using power from 844 on the double headed excursion?
  • I see a mistake: X4014 has a companion, and the A class does not. Should the 844 be removed or should the N&W 611 be added behind the A class?
  • @TrainzGuy-yx1xt
    Is there a link for the N&W class A also like Ur content (I subscribed!) :)
  • @floydrandol2731
    Big Boy needs no assistance to deal with the Class A. That wouldn’t be fair due to big TE difference.

    4014 has no accurate whistle or bell.
