Kato 126-0403 DCC N Scale UP Union Pacific FEF-3 Steam Loco #8444 Grayhound

DCC / No Sound

In September 1987, a dream long held by steam enthusiasts came true when the Union Pacific approved to re-paint their FEF-3 #8444 (built as #844) into the two-tone gray “Overland” colors that were applied to 800-class locomotives beginning in 1946. These made the locomotives more aesthetically pleasing with the “Overland Route” passenger trains. This livery scheme only lasted a few years, but the post-WWII color scheme made a lasting impression!
