WOW 3-RAIL!!!!

Thanks for the info.

I didn't realize how monsterous the size was on this locomotives!!!!!!!

Even articulated it would be a challenge to have on a layout.

I appreciate Williams doing it twice even!!!

According to sources when UP has that Big Boy up and running, they plan to run it around the country

I plan to grab the boys and make a vacation run just to see it run through its paces.

I think semi-scale would be the only realistic way to go iif it ever came out again.

Thanks for the input !!!!

When Big Boy 4014 was being moved across the LA County Fair parking lot, sectional track, (panel track) was used, similar to Atlas Snap Track, to create the rail path for 4014 out to the national rail network, which was the local commuter train tracks.
