When we told you about Union Pacific's BSA locomotive last month, were you dreaming of ways to get that 207-ton beauty in your living room?

Well, a solution is coming that won't require you to knock down the walls of your home. Lionel Electric Trains just announced that they're making a replica of the BSA 2010 engine.

“It is a special privilege for Lionel to be making the UP No. 2010 this year. Lionel has always been proud of our relationships with both Union Pacific and Boy Scouts of America,” said Lionel CEO Jerry Calabrese. “When we heard that UP would be honoring the great American tradition of Scouting, we just knew we had to be a part of it.”

The limited-edition train will be featured in Vol. 2 of Lionel's 2010 catalog, meaning it will be available in time for the holiday season. It will feature the same design and logos seen on its full-size counterpart (pictured above).

Cracker Barrel will have more details on the UP No. 2010 replica as Lionel releases them. Stay tuned!
