I heard Broadway Limited models are built by Korea Brass, and MTH models are built by Samhongsa. but for some reason, MTH won toolings of BLI's HO scale Big Boy, Challenger and others after successfully sueing BLI.
so, MTH's current HO Big Boy are made using BLI toolings, and BLI can no longer offer HO Big Boy (since they lost the toolings, which they could remake, but would cost a lot of money to do so).
and Samhongsa and Korea Brass no longer make trains? any one know?
@simhopp Athearn Genesis Steam engines are now produced by Samhongsa. They are a good line of steam engines, however, the steam lines that run down the sides of the boiler, Athearn should have added those rather than leaving them to the modler. I hope Athearn is not loosing its edge on the HO scale train market by depleteting the tooling and leaving it to the modeler. Some parts should be done by the manufacturer, not by the modeler.
Marklin makes a better model than this one. Even though this one is fine, the Marklin one has better sound effects. If only they made it in Z and 1 Guage...
can someone please tell me if i can purchase a big boy train in australia that is under $200,also is there any good train websites that arent in america
wow ! nice ! its looks so real down to the smallest detail.

I agree; the scene at 2:50 was very realistic! Keep up the good work!

Nice! I'm jealous you get to run yours on a layout. Check out mine: "model trains big boy 4015 & challengers"

That's not QSI. It's BLI's custom "Blueline" sound system. QSI is different.

Broadway Limited Imports is one of my favorite companies. Their locomotives are pricey, but excelently detailed, and smoorh runners.
