I never cared for the restoration of 4014.

Well, there may be 2 or 3 other people who would agree with you.  

I agree with Ed. 

Sure, the BB is a big, noisy chooch, but there are other existing steam locomotives I prefer over it.  And maybe a couple of diesels, too.

Pluss,,,,,,,,the Challenger class Locomotives were also NOT restricted to 50/55 MPH, as the 4000 class locomotives were/are. Thus, 4014 rarely runs faster than 45/50MPH!
