About the Union Pacific Spirit of 1943 Diesel

The Union Pacific Railroad revealed this commemorative locomotive to honor the U.S. Armed Forces at San Antonio's Sunset Station. UP's No. 1943 heads up the railroads Salute to the Military Tour with a series of community displays across Union Pacific's network.

The locomotive's unique livery is based on the schemes and colors from each branch of the U.S. Military and is a recognition on the railroad's part of the military service of many Union Pacific employees. In fact, 17 percent of UP employees have served in the military - one of the reasons the Union Pacific has been recognized in the Best Companies for Veterans Top 10 list the last two years running. You can learn more about the locomotive and the series of M.T.H. HO freight cars by going HERE.

Our highly detailed model includes a broader range of features than you’ll find on any other HO scale diesel, including operating flashing ditch lights; smooth performance from a three-scale-mile-per-hour crawl to full throttle; "cruise control" for steady speeds regardless of curves, switches, and grades; built-in decoders for DCC and the M.T.H. Digital Command System (DCS); and a full range of sounds recorded from a prototype Union Pacific SD70ACe. If you’re looking for modern motive power that’s accurately detailed (our tooling allows us to produce up to eight different SD70ACe variations), smooth running, and a great deal of fun to operate, it doesn’t get any better than this.
