There's one sitting on my desk next to the keyboard as i write this. It is a UP bigboy, it comes undecorated so you need to paint it after GLUEING it together and there is a sheet of decals that have lettering for the first 15 locos in the series (4001-4014) (i seem to remember). It makes a nice display peice although the handrails leave something to be desired. Thewheels are loose in the axle slots so you can turn them but they don't rotate freely and teh flanges are scale size so they won't stay on the track well and the articulation is correct so you would need enormous curves for it (think 48" like with brass big boys). I would agree that the detail is really better than the rivarossi model as there are fewer omissions. if you can't afford a working model you can always get this one to keep you going until you can get a trix one or something! neil
