[quote user="VAPEURCHAPELON"][quote user="Mastiffdog"] If you like big steam locos, Big Boys are pretty cool.  [/quote] Not correct: I like big steam locos. But I do NOT like UP Challengers and Big Boys because they have nothing special in appearance to make them beautyful. No white driver edges and running boards, running boards even are interrupted at half the length, square cab, etc. Then come the voices stating that they look powerful. But here, too, I don't agree. They don't look powerful - and they even WERE NOT as powerful as one should expect by their size. They even were the wrong engines for the job UP had them to do - accelerating dieselization. But I like Virginian's AE, or NP's Z-5, or DM&IR's M-3/M-4, C&O's H-8, P&WV's 2-6-6-4s, Reading's 2-8-8-0s, B&O's 2-8-8-0s, Great Northern's N-3 and R-2, among many others, not counting here the many rigid frame large steamers. But definitely NO UP articulateds. [/quote]It is not whether I am correct or you are correct.  I simply shared my opinion as you did yours.  We just happen to disagree and that's okay.  No one has to be right or wrong.  Just be happy with what locos you enjoy.
