Gem Ruby Big Boy
Posted by Howard Zane on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 12:58 AM

I hope this is not taken as a non-appropriate ad as I'm looking to acquire a Gem Ruby series UP 4-8-8-4.....not sell one.  Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

The Gem/Olympia Ruby and Emerald locos were in my opinion leaders in the state of the art of brass models during their run in the 60's. There were only five Ruby Signature models....The PRR H-10, PRR S-2, C&O J-2, Reading T-1, and the UP Big Boy. The Big Boy has eluded me for years. I have the other four, and before I depart for the big roundhouse, I'd love to complete this very small collecton.

Thanks,

HZ
