Union Pacific Big Boy — Halloween Edition

Give the legendary Union Pacific Big Boy No. 4014 a seasonal makeover with this Halloween Edition, featuring festive decorations, atmospheric lighting, and a Haunted Forest backdrop.

Whether you're creating a Halloween render, a spooky railroad animation, or a seasonal 3D project, this edition combines the original model's animation capabilities with a ready-made Halloween presentation.

Halloween Decorations

Transform your railroad scene with a collection of Halloween decorations:

• 2 Jack-o'-Lanterns
• 2 Pumpkins
• 2 Decorative Garlands
• 1 Lantern
• 3 Decorative Light Strands — Two orange styles and one purple style
• 1 Haunted Forest Backdrop Image — Exactly the same image featured in the main product thumbnail
• Additional Lighting — Lights added to the locomotive and decorations for a more atmospheric appearance

The decorations give the locomotive a distinctive Halloween look, while the included backdrop provides a ready-made setting for your scene. The decorative light strands are made from curves, making them straightforward to work with in Blender.

Animation Features

Developed using detailed reference blueprints and photographs of the real No. 4014, the locomotive combines detailed geometry with a practical mechanical rig.

Two rigging options are included:

• Automated Rig: Synchronizes the driving wheels, connecting rods, pistons, articulation, and wheel trucks with the track and motion. Designed to work with the optional Track Library & Build Route system to streamline railroad animation.
• Manual Rig: A standalone rig with a single-bone piston control and manual adjustments for locomotive articulation and wheel trucks on curves.

Additional features include:

• Fully rigged locomotive and tender
• Articulated engine rig
• PBR materials
• Real-world 1:1 scale

Included Files

• Manual Blender Version
• Automated Blender Version
• Sample Animation
• Quick Start Guide
• All listed Halloween decorations and the Haunted Forest backdrop image

Optional Track Library & Build Route Add-on

The optional add-on provides tools for track placement, route creation, locomotive alignment, and automated mechanical synchronization.

It is designed to simplify parts of the railroad animation workflow when used with the automated rig. The standalone manual rig works without the add-on.

• Haunted railroad scenes
• Seasonal 3D projects
