Too bad Steve Lee didn't do this instead of 3985. that engine is so of anti climatic now with a big boy on the horizion.
Steve Lee was asked that very question. His answer is that a BB could only operate only on trackage in WY and UT. That was then. But 3985 can go to a lot more places than a BB.
BTW, does anybody know where a BB can go on the UP today under steam?
