OcCre Jupiter – American 4-4-0 locomotive from the transcontinental railroad
OcCre Jupiter is a wooden-metal kit in 1:32 / G-45 scale that recreates the American 4-4-0 locomotive Jupiter. Built in 1868 by Schenectady Locomotive Works of New York, the locomotive is historically important because of its role in the first transcontinental railroad in the United States.
For retailers, Jupiter is a model with a very clear American railway story. Together with Rogers 119, it is strongly associated with Promontory Summit, Utah, the place where the transcontinental railroad was completed. This makes the model especially relevant for customers interested in western history, early steam locomotives and the symbolic power of the railroad.
With 942 parts and around 250 hours of build time, Jupiter is a substantial high-difficulty project in a manageable format. Its colourful 4-4-0 profile, wood-burning locomotive history and Golden Spike connection make it strong as a collector product and as a natural pair with Rogers 119.
