Since all this excitement of the VL Bigboys, I was wondering just how many do you own? Either Lionmaster, JLC, VL, Premiere, Railking, MTH, 3rd Rail etc.
I own three,
VL
JLC
TMCC Lionmaster

Only one a MTH. But also have a 9000 series #9000 and a FEF #844 rounding out my UP steam.

One, MTH HO scale #4014
Stuart
Checked my inventory twice...
Exactly none.

I have two. I model in the late 1940s thru the mid 1950s, so I have the MTH Premier #4014, from some years ago (PS2), plus the Sunset/3rd Rail #4023.
No big boys here. My Eastern Railroads layout (with the varied curves) cannot handle a big boy, plus I never spend anywhere near what the importers are asking for this Chinese Toy.
One. MTH Premier. 4013. I've had it about four years and just finished my track so I can run it. I like the smoke feature, but the smoke doesn't like my sinuses.

MTH made a UP #4013?
I have one half.
I have a HO (half O) Key brass Big Boy.

Is it a PS2? Darn, I sure wish I had purchased THAT road number instead of the 4014.
Yes PS2. Runs like a champ on my Fastrack O84 and O72.
3 of them with more planned to be bought in the future. The VL and K-Line BBs in O, and a late model Rivarossi N scale BB.
I own "1"- 4005 Lionel VL
I have one, a Proto One on display in the train room.

Wel,l didn't the SP cab forwards and UP 4000s & 3900s rub shoulders in Ogden Utah?
None, and as of late have absolutely no interest in ever getting one.

A total of 6.

If I ever bought one it would be the JLC Big Boy. If anyone missed out on the VL model, my local dealer has one he will gladly sell to anyone for the low, low price of $2650.00...

Lionmaster BB with the Whistle Steam effect.
Runs great. Sounds great. Negotiates any and all of our Fastrack curves and looks properly sized with our freight cars.
1 Lionmaster TMCC. Just right for me.
one 4014.
If I was still working I would get another one!!
and no I'm not getting a job just to get another one.
One, a Lionmaster (old version with TMCC). I sort of got it by accident. I had no intention of acquiring a Big Boy, and no real interest, but I was setting up for a train show one day and the guy across the aisle set out a mint Lionmaster Big Boy with the kind of price tag that you break your wrist reaching for your wallet. Nice engine, I like it and it looks good on my small layout, but I would't even have thought about a Big Boy if it hadn't been too cheap to pass up. I did have to do a little work on it, the smoke unit was screwed up from the factory and the other guy hadn't tested it, but no big problem in comparison to the deal I got.
Nada, zilch, zero.
One - KLine Semi-scale.
