Finally, I have taken some time to post some pics of my 4-8-8-4 Big Boy
steamer.

Please take a moment to check it out and as always, comments and snide • remarks
are welcome.

Simply stunning! Next to the great mechanics of the wheels and the pistons,
I also like the detail in the trailing truck, and the way the smoke
deflectors are made. It's amazing what a subtle effect a few bricks can
achieve. Detail on this model is simply great!

I was wondering if you plan to make waggons for it? I would be an impressive
sight seeing the locomotive pulling a lot of cars!

Thank you Frank.  Yes, I plan to make a typical red & yellow Union Pacific
Auxiliary tender (with two 9v motors) & a Union Pacific Crane & Boom tender.
The auxiliary tender will provide me with a little more umph...to pull more
cars and push the big locomotive.
