just watched the new Cody's Office. Seeing a number, or a picture of them just sitting there with nothing around, you have no idea how big they really are. But sitting there on Cody's desk - holy cow that is a HUGE loco.

I saw one running at the club the other week. It's a good bit longer than my AC6000's. I could only imagine 2 consisted. Definitely not meant for a 4x8 layout for sure.

Guys, any photos?

When i watched the video the first thing that popped into my mind was whats the minimum radius. I I like how BLI says "Minimum Radius: 22" or greater recommended" Yeah so they really mean 30"
Huge?? You should have seen the centipedes in the caves we explored when we were kids on Okinawa!!

Some real locos were, indeed, huge, and they didn't have to be a "Big Boy" to be large!
In fact the Big Boy at Steamtown is really less impressive in size in real life than some Mountain type locos up close!

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.

Pretty much the same face as the Babyface cab units the CNJ had. You can now have one of those without buying brass thanks tot he Anthracite Railroads Historical Society, they are producing a resin kit for the Babyface that fits on a P2K FA chassis.
Definitely a face only a mother could love, certainly not one that says "he man" by any stretch. Still an interesting piece, 'superpower' diesel before ther was such a thing. Dozens of wheels because without modern sophisticated wheelslip technology they needed lots of wheels and motors to get the power down.
