QUOTE: Originally posted by twhite But gloriosky, those GN/NP/SP&S Challengers were handsome beasties, weren't they? I think except for the Baldwin built Rio Grande L-105's, they were the heaviest and most powerful 4-6-6-4's ever built. Next to them, the UP was a lightweight.
QUOTE: Originally posted by randyaj Guys I am having a hard time seeing the difference in the firebox between the bowser kit and the GN prototype. I see the bulge in front of the cab needs to be made consideralbly shorter, the corners of the cab have to be changed, and the air pump mounting location is wrong on the bowser, but the firebox does not look like the earlier mallets that GN made.

QUOTE: Originally posted by randyaj I am building Great Northern challenger from a bowser kit. I am looking for photos of the prototype engines either numbered 4000 or 4001. Any help would be appreciated.
