So for those of you that just bought your very first Lionel VisionLine "Special -Run Lionel Big Boy, which "Flavor" did you get? Back in October when Lionel announced plans to make a 2023 Vision Line Big Boy I was ecstatic. That's right, a brand new, fresh out of the box behemoth with the latest and greatest technology and quite possibly the most abundant smoke creator the brand has ever sold for the same price as a secondary market one. So why the post about special runs? I bought the typical 4014 Coal depleting version expecting this was the pinnacle, my Everest in train collecting, there's nothing bigger or better ........and then 2 weeks ago my world was shaken up. What in the world could be better than a Lionel Big Boy?" Why 2 Big Boys, of course! If you bought a a Special Run Big Boy, which one did you go with...share your pictures. Last week I stumbled across this video and decided I must have it. Credit for the video and screenshots goes to Gizmo Trains. The color and detail was mesmerizing and I couldn't take my eyes off it. There were a few left and I was able to score one. Was there a Special Run Big Boy that you felt the same way about? I have waited years until I could attain something so cool, and yes expensive. But this is the year I blew my budget out for trains. I told myself...no more Pre-Orders for a while...a long, long while!!!! https://youtu.be/IMVlU7KRZ1o?si=VrssIenutMZ59V6Q
