I recently visited the museum and uploaded some photos to my Picasa Web Album page. For some reason I wasn't able to get the lighting right for the Big Boy and didn't have my tripod with me. It's too bad too that it's tucked in with the others and there isn't room for a full side shot to show how massive it is. Many others turned out okay though and I thought some of you might enjoy them. I've attached the best of the Big Boy photos and hope the link works for the others. You may have to paste the link in your browser manually.

I had a chance to visit this museum many years ago. I had no idea that this museum existed until one of my employees took me on a tour after we completed a client visit. The Big Boy was the highlight of the visit. When you stand next to it, it sure is massive. if you have never seen a Big Boy in person and you are near Green Bay, it is worth seeing. 

 

Thanks for the post Dave. It brought back memories.

Actually, I just blew the shot because the lighting was too low and the manual settings I needed to get some degree of focus without the tripod just made it look that bright. It looked okay in the LCD, but I saw how bad it was once I downloaded it to my laptop. Thanks for cleaning it up. I should have done that, but I was too disappointed to mess with it, sorry. My tripod was in my van, but I let my brother-in-law drive us in his SUV because he's more familiar with the streets in Green Bay.

I have learned the hard way to always have your tripod with you.   If you dont though there is other ways of steadying your camera.  I have sat my camera bag on the ground or a table and sat my camera on it for a makeshift tripod countless times.
