As a fellow Lego and train nut always love seeing lit up builds totally makes a city come to life

The king of steam has come to your layout and congratulations on getting the union pacific big boy

Interesting scale setup. I just put mine on the rails earlier, the derailment was upsetting but, I made it work on a separate rail. One beautiful item.

Way cool side by side video of the two for looks and comparison.

Can’t wait to get the decoder into mine. Was coming to go the cheap route with Digitrax but I may just put in soundtraxx.

Great video

Received mine from Trainworld on Saturday morning but waited a day to unbox and test. I had setup up a test track using Kato track to test all my equipment I finally pulled out of storage last year so I wanted to make sure it was clean before putting this nice new model on the tracks. After a few loops around and two derailments due to track alignment issues of being setup as a carpet runner, I re-boxed the Big Boy until I have a more permanent layout setup. Still I have a couple of observations. One is I think I'll be 3d printing a long re-rail tool to help get it on the track without much problems. My curves are wide (17.5-19) and superelevated so the lean where the track runs under a bridge created a clearance problem. Also I only run DC so I notice the noise level is more than my other new Kato steam loco. Part of that noise is from the Kato track which I won't be using when I build the next layout. Still I might switch to Tomix track if it proves to much quieter, I'll have to order some for testing before I make that decision. This came to mind because I do have two long Tomix arch bridges where the trains are much quieter when they transition from Kato bridges, thinking it must be the type of plastic. Anyway, your room looks great so enjoy, -Mike in NC,

The hobo union approves of this video..😊😊😊😊

W oow got my n scale Kato big boy yesterday 6/12/23 and I can't wait to put it on the track I have a Ho scale D&H 2-6-6-2 I got decades ago ---probably would now be unafforable

Dude props to the layout I’m loving the Lego Gustav gun😂. Great video and I’m looking into the hobby but in ho scale and am looking for a big boy lol. Best of wishes my friend

I hope mine gets to me in the mail soon. I have a KATO GS4 484 southern Pacific morning daylight. Cant wait for my big boy. If the N scale big boy was scalr weight it would be 7,000 pounds and have 847.36 IBf

Got mine today, too.

Excellent!☺👏🇬🇧

You aught to see the REAL one like I did. The whistle blew my ears out. Now all you need is the Challenger.

Thanks! You should tell us what the curve radius is in the "S" curve that it made it through.

I have the KATO, the Athearn and a brass BIG BOY. I want to do a tale of three Big Boys and compare running traits, detailing and ....... all of them against each other. It should be interesting. I have all the fixtures needed to do handlaid N scale track and about 12 nice buildings completed. How many cars up a grade and around a curve, how smooth and slow can they run and how brutally handsome each is. Of course, no Big Boy could ever stand against my N scale H8 Allegheny, but I can't expect any Big Boy enthusiast to understand why this is so.... just run home and cry to mommy cause you ain't got an H8 Allegheny in brass and no Big Boy should ever talk poop around the Allegheny.

Amazing details im wondering if the Big boy, is made in HO SCALE!

Nice

Do you sometimes order from plaza japan? If yes is it a trustworthy store?

Hey man i really love your videos i know how it feels when you get a big boy i dont really though because my ho big boy will be coming soon but congrats man it is truly an amazing engine do me a favor and be careful with the cab and hand rails my brother got his Kato big boy and he broke the Handel bars two days later so carefull with that btw do you know any company’s that make the sd70ace in ho for a reasonable price because i live in dubai and im Arab so we dont get ANY trains and we have sd 70 ACES in our railroad and I NEED to get one in ho.

What is that brick built train cannon from?

How's the big boy running, still good?

Nice unboxing, Now you need to invest in a tripod.

I had to return mine I hated that it did not work😢

happy for you homie :) Im gonna pick myself up one just to have sit on my dresser or something

When I saw up 844s traction tire came off Yikes that's not good. In case if anyone hasn't notice 844 is a 4-8-4 northern not an articulate steam engine.

AWESOME!!!!!

Ok, now you need the Challenger to double head with Big Boy

I do agree with you 100% on the 844, I have about 150 DCC locomotives and that one is, by far, the worst of ANY brand I own. I was stupid enough to buy the Greyhound one last year and it's just as bad as the original. I'm a little disappointed in the presentation of this Big Boy though, just simple box. I have the BLI and Athearn Big Boys too and the Athearn box and contents are fantastic. Nice booklet with the history of the Big Boy along with detailed illustrated parts breakdown and operation instructions. Waiting on my Kato version with DCC and sound. It will probably be the crown jewel of all N scale locomotives in history.

quincydepot is selling it for 259.99 non DCC

Use two rerailers that's how I put on my Challenger.

Welcome to the land of disappointment. It’s lacking a lot of detail but if you want a solid runner you got a good one as kato usually is

I have 4 of the Atheran Big Boys and I hate them the traction road tires popped off after just using once. Than the remote control is junk and causes problems with the DCC system. They look good but performance sucks. Trying to use that green frog 🐸 to put on the wheels scares me.
