How Many Purchased New Big Boy?

I got 1. We have 4 more members at the club who bought them.

Jim D.

Me too!

1, laid temporary tracks on floor to run and check it out. I'm blown away.

just one the 4014.

just one the 4014.  Wish the blow down steam effect was more visible; they need to improve that!

Well, it isn't correct for a steam locomotive equipped with the Wilson blowdown separator system anyway.

 

 

I have the 4018

4012 here.

4018 on the way from Mr. Petros.

Received the 4014

I have the 4012 and I was crazy about it until I found out the blowdown
isn't correct for the Wilson separator system!!

Now I'll probably return it...

Good for you!

Yeah me too. What was Lionel thinking?


       

hot water just saved me $2K.  what a thoughtful and kind gentleman he is.

I suspect Lionel and its dealers will now get pummeled with returns because of this.

NJ Hirailers looks like Cheyenne!

I have a problem with mine, not a steam problem but a legacy problem, Lionel will fix it and I will be a happy camper.

 

Bottom line it is a toy, a expensive one but a toy. I will enjoy mine and I hope you will enjoy yours.

We have two shows coming in Feb. so I will look for a discounted one.   JUST KIDDING !!!   Enjoy your toys.

My son just got 4012.  A belated birthday present.

#4014 now resides in the SP&W's stable of magnificent Iron beast. 

I have 4012 on the way. I am glad to see others got 4012 (Scranton). I wanted to get this one since, I live 15 minutes from Steamtown.

#4006 for me. Absolutely love the three speaker system!

4012 will arrive at the Flagg Stop Monday.

4014 for me!

4017 because it sits in Green Bay.

 

 

Here's my nephew Theo (my sister's son) sitting at the backhead of 4017.

 

 

......Robbie

do you recall how many drops of smoke fluid that you added.  I started with 26 because of the comments on the forum of the smoke units being a smoke fluid hogs.

 

The stack and the whistle steam are operating correctly; like that alternating smoke stack chuff ( it doesn't alternate that way in reverse, should it)?.

 

The sound file is fine.

 

This is also true of my ATSF 3000; weak blow down steam effect

did the bb's produced by Sunset 3rd rail have the correct blow down gear?

Go to "RailPictures.et to see a photo of a real Big Boy in service, #x4011. Pretty neat.

Pretty much tells you which one I bought but I love them all.

4014 it will be here Monday.
