Description Technical Specs
 
The Challengers were steam power at its zenith. They incorporated all the technology that represented super-power steam, including roller bearings on all axles and drive rods - but none of the foolishness that characterized some of the desperate efforts to save steam in the post-war years. While most Challengers hauled freight, a number were assigned to passenger service in the Pacific Northwest, where they were converted to oil burners, equipped with smoke lifters ("wind wings" in UP parlance), and painted two-tone gray in 1946.

MTH 4-6-6-4 August 25, 2009
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Martinsburg, WV United States  
I received my Clitchfield Challenger today (8-24-09). It is an absolute joy to run. The loco easily traverses 18" curves. The syncronized smoke and chuff are great and it may be as smooth or smoother than my Mohawk MTH (also a GREAT loco).
