I never heard Lionel didn't own the tooling for the Big Boy. I heard they owned it when they got K Line. You never see them for sale much and you don't seem to see many trying to buy one. It's like they disappeared. That's why I put up this post.
I haven't heard much about the Union Pacific restoration of the 4014. Is that still going on?

The UP restoration of the 4014 is still going on, and progressing steadily. They are really going through the locomotive with a fine tooth comb. There are many videos on youtube that give an idea of the work being done and it is quite extensive.

Here are a few:

They are working to get the locomotive operational in time for the 150th anniversary of the Golden Spike, which will occur in May, 2019.
