Hi All,
My 7 year old is obsessed with the BigBoy so am looking for one for us. Would like one of the models which can negotiate 042 curves. Please email Gerhardt at gcklann@gmail.com
Thanks

Most all big boys take 72 inch radius. They are a very big engine. If you're interested I have a mint new inbox legacy big boy ill ship for 1250. My info is in profile.
look for the MTH rail King, it will run on the curves you have
The K-Line will also do the 42" curves.
I have a rail king big boy I’m willing to sell! Email me corydubas@gmail.com
Thanks to all of you kind Train folks for responding. We have found a Big Boy from a forum member in Pennsylvania and are in the process of getting shipping etc sorted out.
What I learned is that MTH Railking, Lionel LionMaster and Kline all made a version to run on 031 which still surprises me. The Lionel and MTH versions are larger while the K-line is basically shrunk down, but still a beautiful engine. So if you have a layout with tighter curves , you can still have a Big Boy. Can’t wait to try it out!
