[quote]Athearn Geneses (SP?) 4-8-8-4 Big Boy, #4006[/quote]HOOPLE, I ran across this photo of SP#4006. Thought you might like to see it.<img src="http://photoswest.org/photos/00015626/00015656.jpg" />Call Number: OP-15656This is a 4-8-8-2 Cab forward and not a big boy. Southern Pacific had no Big Boys in their roster. This was their largest engine.You can find more info at  Southern Pacific Historcial Society  DERJOHN, don't know what rock is around the dome. got this infor from the tv show "Louisiana the state we are in." on the local PBS chanel. I do know that it took the Union Army over 6 months to take the island back in 1862. The Union Army had grown to a force of 15 to 1 ratio before they were successful. But of coarse they had snakes, gators. mosquitos, swamp, and bogs to deal with before they could reach the cajuns in the area. And the cajuns knew this country. Mosquitos have been known to kill cows in this country. INCH, sorry to hear about your nephew. Lost a nephew when he was 23. Had his two year old son in the truck when he passed. Had an anurisum on the brain. He slowed down and ran off the road and stopped. Our prayers and thoughts go out to you and the family. Sad for things to happen like this at this time of the year. This should be a time of rejoycing and not sorrow.JEFFERY, nice award presented to you by someone who really cares. Sounds like you made a mark on David and his family. Well done.well got to get cracking. supose to go to MS. today. May pospone because of the weather. it's raining here this morning.
