HO Brass - OMI 6710.1 Union Pacific #57 Standard Turbine w/ Propane Tender - F/P 1997 Ajin

Union Pacific's groundbreaking Propane Turbine #57 represents a pivotal moment in locomotive innovation. In 1953, UP made history by converting this turbine to run on propane—a bold experiment designed to reduce carbon buildup and extend blade life. The locomotive entered service that year and proved its mettle hauling freight between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, paired with a specially engineered pressurized tender car. Though the cleaner-burning fuel showed promise, the infrastructure demands and safety requirements ultimately outweighed the benefits. By January 1954, #57 returned to conventional oil operation, making this short-lived experiment a fascinating chapter in railroad engineering. Own a piece of this rare historical achievement with this meticulously detailed HO scale brass model from OMI, capturing an audacious moment when the railroad industry dared to reimagine the future.
