Hi marlboro,

We haven't reviewed USA's Big Boy, though we did review their Hudson. Is this, perhaps, what you were thinking of?

J1E Hudson review

You're right Rene, it was the Hudson, where can I glimpse at this review. I've gotten the price review as to say on the upcoming BIG BOY, and No thanks $5400.00 Canadian!!!! Even the Hudson comes in at $2500.00. Still like to read about it. Thanks

Charlie
Last e-mail I recieved from USAT is that its being drawn up. Thats all I know.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

Matt this $5400 Big Boy is what I should bash ? [8D][8D]

Or is there another flavor at less $$$$$

USA Trains 1/29 scale Big Boy at $4K US might as well be $40K I wouldnt touch it,

but at 1/32 scale and $700 I'll bet MTH sells a [censored][censored][censored] load of its plastic Big Boys!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes Tim MTH will offer a way more affordable Big Boy at 1/32 scale along side its 1/32 Challenger

   Have fun with your trains
