I have found they clean off very well with just a wet paper towel.
While primarily used for freight service across the UP system, a few were also assigned to passenger trains like the Portland Rose. The design and operational experience of the Challengers played a crucial role in shaping the renowned Big Boy locomotive type, which in turn influenced the design of the last three orders of Challengers.
This model is in almost MINT condition, sadly when I tested the model one of the number board panels popped out and I wasn’t able to find it again. Model has had zero run time besides the bench test. Both A units are equipped with functional MARS lights (not DCC). The box is in used condition, at some point some water got onto the corner, but it still holds its shape like new. The paint in these models is factory done. These models run very quietly. Comes with original parts bag, has drawbars, screws, etc.
DCC equipped. Dual-mode decoder with back EMF for superb slow speed operation in DC and DCC modes. Adjustable bell ringing interval for faster or slower bell. Quillable horn for various whistle lengths and patterns.
