[quote user="4884bigboy"][quote user="Safety Valve"] <p>I probably will not, I did view the recent PCM Big Boy vs Genesis Big Boy videos on this website and I gotta tell ya, that PCM BIG BOY has what it takes. But not at 3000 dollars. I see the discount at the LHS minus the sales tax and the result is still over one year's total hobby expenditure. Repeat after me: D I V O R C E LOL. =)</p><p> I have the Proto QSI Y-3 duplicating the old Western Maryland #917 back when she was operating and it's plenty big enough for me. My problem is what to do with the engine if she is not serving as a helper or lugging coal down from the mine.</p><p>[/quote] The MSRP on the PCM Big Boy is around $500, not $3000..... still expensive though! Perhaps you saw the price tag on the brass PCM Big Boy?[/quote]</p><p>Oh they had it in plastic? Hmm... All I saw was the brass in all it's piped glory on the PCM webpage LOL.</p>
