[/quote]"How many new incarnations of UP's Big Boy-Challenger do we need"? [/quote] Depends who the "we" is I guess...if it's me, "we" don't need them at all. If it's locomotive collectors, I guess they need them. If it's UP modellers with huge layouts, I guess they need them. There was an obvious trend at this past years' trainshow club layouts, big expensive locomotives hauling trains that didn't fit either the era or the type of train that the prototype hauled. You had locomotive owners hauling CN grain cars with a C&O 2-6-6-6, Pennsy hopper cars hauled by a NYC 4-6-4, even an SP passenger train behind a UP Big Boy.....anything goes, so anything sells, especially the big, impressive, expensive steam models. regards / Mike
