Fred and Lee,
Williams already made the Big Boy locomotive TWICE. Once in 1987 and once in 1995 (with sound). Other manufacturers have made them as well. These models are frequently sold on eBay for a fraction of their original price. The MSRP was 1299.95 on the first production and $1499.95 on the second. I just did a completed auction search and several of them sold for $600 and lower.
This model is 36" long and has a very limited market in O Scale, so there will be no plans to make any in the foreseeable future. 72" curves are a minimum and they still have a huge overhang.
Regards,
