Cab
The vestibule cab is finely detailed with
working side windows, operating roof hatch
and a spring-loaded rear door revealing
interior detail, with engineer and fireman
seats, plus complete boilerback detail.
Tender
The tender is a work of art onto itself.
It accurately captures the massiveness
of the 14-wheel “centipede” design while
housing the DCC board, sound chip and two
speakers. It also provides electrical pickup.
Drivers
The massive 80” Boxpok drivers are all
flanged, with the rearmost set using Neoprene
traction tires to assure pulling power equal to
the real FEF. Highly detailed, all-metal siderods
transfer power to all drivers.
Boiler
While the original FEF was a clean, modern
steam locomotive design, it still had an
interesting assortment of pipes, handrails,
steps and other items on its boiler. Your
model has them appropriately added for
each road number offered.
