* Mike yours is a very different UP 4-8-4. It seams to be using the NYC 4-8-4 boiler. Even the cylinder and valve gear hangers are from the NYC 4-8-4. If you look back up at the one painted for the CP, that is the boiler that I have always seen used for the UP grayhound. Below are photos of my UP Grayhound. I guess Bachmann didn't care which boiler it used for it's different 4-8-4s. It must have used what ever was on hand at the time. * I wonder if their are N&W or SP 4-8-4s out their with UP or NYC boilers.
