I can't wait to kick the tires of the new Athearn Big Boy!
I thought the Challenger was incredible...but the Big Boy is well, heck the biggest Yankee steam and besides....its UP! I love all the UP prototypes!
True, when the Maerklin Big Boy came out,,,I drooled quite often over the ads, and yes, I still want one of those....but I will settle for Athearn's model if runs like the Challenger.
And I am very happy that Athearn is going to please me even more with the FEF UP's series...if they look half as good as Rivarossi's I will take 'em all!
