  • wow ! nice ! its looks so real down to the smallest detail.

  • Should I get a athearn genesis big boy or a mth big boy??? It will have to have DCC sound and smoke. Can someone please help????

  • Great video. Awesome train. Engine is unreal. And I liked the cars, too.

  • wat the fuck is tht noise dont sound right...lol

  • @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.

  • 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?

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

  • Nice. Those poor Pennsy ore jennies... long way from home!

  • Very nice video Paul. I operate a Big Boy once in a while at my RR club.

  • I have this engine, very well detailed :).
