I never got into trains much I mostly fly RC Helicopters and Airplanes, but I must say the craftmanship on that engine is remarkable 👍

Anything bigger you would need a ticket to ride .

I always loved G scale. If I ever came into a ton of money I'd probably build a garden railroad like my dad and I did when I was a kid. That is a beautiful model.

In awe of the size of this lad. Absolute Unit.

What's with the unbelievable GAP between the engine and tender? I guess the fireman might need to learn how to POLE VAULT ❗🤣

That is one HUGE train engine! And $2,000 is a lot of money. But it is well worth all of that money. The sounds, the colors, all of the auxiliary lights and the details to all of this can easily be worth that. Great purchase on your par! Have fun getting it running on your tracks.

Amazing,Great Big brother, looking like GOD FATHER LOCOMOTIVE..Being a steam man,from INDIAN RAILWAYS. Retired as SENIOR SECTION ENGINEER FROM DIESEL/ELECTRIC/ELECTRIC/LOCO/SHED%/K.R.PURAM BANGALORE INDIA.i am so proud of BIG BOY Each & every raiwaymen should keep BIG BOY 4014 working model in there homes. Steam locos are our fore father's, we the raiway men should encourage and give brief lesson notes to up coming generation's so that ,BLACK BEAUTIES LEGACY WILL REMAIN FLYING COLOURS FOR EVER..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

"if we can get this train up to 88 mph Marty, it will be enough to start the flux capacitator, thus sending u back to 1985" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I didn’t enjoy larger scales as much as I do now after so many review videos and a Lionel collection channel. The sounds are soooo good and the power

Это не модель!!! Это произведение искусства!!! Шикарный локомотив!

This is so cool, I witnessed this passing through my own back yard literally. I have a short video of it on my channel. Huge fan of trains and have a few myself. Great demo beautiful set.

Beautiful Locomotive! Thank you for sharing this information about the Big Boy Union Pacific 4-8-8-4. I like how you go in detail and the things the big boy does. When you get your garden done with the track layout please share when you get the big boy up and running.

G Scale 1/22.5 (narrow gauge) and 1 Scale 1/32 (standard gauge) both run on the same gauge of track. G scale and 1 scale are not the same. Cheers!

I saw a big boy in Riverside. Massive and amazing piece of machinery. I saw the one that was on display in Pasadena. They shipped it to Riverside and it was on display for a week before they shipped it on to Cheyenne Wyoming to be completely restored. That was seven years ago or so. It’s finished and is touring the country

The real one is very impressive. The size of that beast should be a wonder of the world to see.

Nice to see those pre-orders finally landed. Like the progress on the bench work for your smaller scale layout, too.

I went in big for "G" scale. Then "MTH" impressed me. I fell in love with MTH's 4005 Big Boy. It ran so beautiful. When I seen MTH was bring out the 4014. I pre-ordered it. I have very high hopes. Finally it arrived. It was in a wooden container. Not like the 4005 and shown here. The engine and tender was screw fastened to the bottom. But there was NO instruction showing that. I was frustrated attempting to remove ether item from the crate. Finally I found the retaining screws. After removing the first screw from the engine. The other 3 became more difficult. the drop of the engine put cross pressure on the screws. Finally i removed the screws. Bang the engine dropped. Then I found the engine had parts ( I do not remember how many long time ago) to assemble. Tender came out OK. I placed the engine and tender on my test track. instructions show placing and pushing up on the draw bar on to the tender. NO MORE information. Then I looked and looked for the connecting cable tender to engine. NONE. I called MTH, phone tag to right person. She told me about the connector plug on the draw bar. Very difficult to get it into the receptacle. You can not see where it is going. All by touch and feel. I even turned both upside down. Now I knew what to do. I had it. But when I turned it right side up. The plug came apart. A total pain to get it in correctly. I kept swearing, Why did they change a good thing. 4005 very easy to connect. Now I applied power from MTH module and hand controller. NOTHING, DEAD. Called MTH again. Check to make sure the connector was properly connected. YEA very easy to do. many attempts to connect. Each time I felt the click I was told the connectors made with seated. Still NO go. I called MTH. I was told to return to MTH on the East Coast office. I had to disassemble engine and secure it int he ORIGINAL container. I also had to pay about $75.00 shipping. About 5 months later. I got a call. My engine was ready. I talked the lady about the problem. Bad connector. She asked about shipping. For some reason I asked from where. St Joe Michigan 10 miles from my house. I drove to the shop. We tested the engine. AOK. I brought it home. Not in the original container. They placed it into a container like the 4005 came in and shown in video. I placed it on my layout. Made sure the plug snapped into the receptacle. The engine ran. Finally. NO it did not make it 1/4 way around my 20 ft loop. The plug disconnected. it happened again and again and again. I called the repair shop. back to the shop. it failed. A month passed by. Engine ready. TOK. Home again. Failed after 3 loops. same problem. disconnects. They needed to look into the problem. I received a call from the shop. he said I needed to drill a small hole in the tender pin. After I connected the connectors. I would use a pin through the hole to lock the connectors in place. I flew my cool. The engine NEVER ran again.

Wow, awesome video of your model of this incredible & colossal Union Pacific Big Boy 👍👍

I thank the lord I went with HO scale every time I see you lift this thing

What a really great addition to your collection. A very special looking locomotive.

Wow thanks for posting this as I also know Hornby Model Railways have also released their version of Big Boy recently on OO Gauge" She sure is a beautiful Locomotive that's for sure ❤️ 🚂

Wonderful locomotive. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy.

Awesome locomotive man!! That is one big boy!

Beautiful model...saw one in person and its huge...best of luck with it

Mother of god that thing is gigantic

Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. Thanks for posting this.

Too good - can’t wait for the G scale layout to run this beast.

The detail is phenomenal.

I love "G" Scale, my favorite scale, that is a Gorgeous Train!!!!

Congratulations James. Incredible model.

Pretty cool. I like that you can see the fire underneath

i like the glow from the fire box adds a nice little touch to it

That is definitely a BIG BOY!!! Lol

THAT is one heck of a machine!

Pretty cool locomotive & the whistle sounds real good too 🙂🙂

Very excellent and beautiful bug train

What a beautiful piece!

what a monster looks and sounds amazing !!!!!! 👌🏻

Hey, wow. That´s a pretty nice train !! Enjoy

Thanks for sharing. G scale is awesome.

Nice, The USAT Bigboy is a beast to carry. Easy to convert to Battery, took me longer to turn it over. than clip the two brown feed wires.

Even the smoke sequences... jeeeez that's pretty neat.

That’s one badass big ass beautiful local motive ❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Beautiful model. I saw the Big Boy in action a few years ago as it pulled the George Busch funeral train through my town. Was quite a sight to see.

A G Scale Big Boy.....That is just massive man. All the detailing that can be out onto that monster though.

Shes a beauty and definitely on my bucket list

WHAT A MONSTER SET !

Hey James , if your car ever gets stuck in the ditch , you could use that BEAST to pull it out !!!!!!!!

That's just beautiful!

Wow! That is huge!! -Matt G.

Pretty neat how the smoke puffs in unison with the sound.

Talk about a big boy holy that engine is gigantic

I got one from Accucraft in live steam. A beast. Best wishes chris

The smoke is much better than their HO scale!

That is one cool train!

Beautiful Loco

BEAUTIFUL!!

Good video James nice looking little train enjoy your self……Robert

This Is a masterpiece 🤩

Love your train

Wow, what a cool ass engine, nice detail, and what a finish, like a Ferrari, ha ha. I did not know there was such a gauge as G and it has only 2 rails, which adds to some authenticity. Must have cost a pretty Dollar, pennies are out nowadays, ha ha. Cool video.

Tender looks to be a long way from the cab. Surprising it doesn't have steam coming from cylinders when it starts off. One of my European HO scale steam locos does that, and chugging smoketoo of course. It also has close coupling between the loco and tender which increases the gap on curves then closes up on the straight.

I like the chuff sounds match the smokestack on this model.

Good Heavens.... just good heavens. Not as impressive as this but my second hand Rivarossi HO (bought with my first months pay) 30 years ago is one of my prized possesion.

Beautiful

This is beyond cool

Omg, big boy , beautiful ❤️

Man that’s sweet, I’ve always wanted one like that, if I had one I’d set it up downstairs run from room to room around the house up the stairs around up there. I know hat your thinking, we have a two car garage I’ll move the wife out there.😂😂😂😂😂

My favorite 4 ever ❤️❤️❤️

the beast I'm going to see soon

OMG thats way too much fun

Train whistle is great too

Not a train guy, but I like this one...

Stunning

That beautiful

First run MTH Bigboy came in a wood box . Runs alot better on the Piko R5 curve. Had the Passenger cars on Pre-order with MTH on the first run but they canceled them.

Amazing !! 👍👍👌👌

Boy O boy what a ENGINE

So cool! Yeah you have huge ceilings and a huge bank account to buy that engine!🤪

Très belle locomotive 👍👍👍👍👍

Need a voice recording of Ed Dickens on the megaphone telling everyone to step back from the steam engine. Since he had to do it at every stop in my area in 2019.

Awesome , Thanks jlwii2000 😀

Wow!! It's almost like the real thing

The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. That thing is MASSIVE and shiny.

They need an SVS mini sub hooked to the sound system and that would sound real.

She's a beast

Interesting how the electrical pickups were done.

You paid an arm and a leg for that one. Impressive!!!

Well looks like you are getting G scale after all, good.

Nice Whistle. But then again, I've heard the real thing on several occasions. Seeing as how I live in Cheyenne, about 2 miles from the round house she lives in. I know she's called Big Boy. But , my Uncle was big in to steam every thing. From stationary engines, to steam tractors and steam trains. And he always refereed to them as a "She" And yes, I have seen the 4014 under her own power. It was awesome. The ground shook even.

G gauge huge man huge

So beautiful ❤️

Wow James, that's one of the best and most complete demonstration episodes you have ever done. Can you do one like that with the new American Flyer Big boy with the new steam whistle feature? Hard to ever afford until I can win the Super Lotto 2nd prize at least! Please do more for us American Flyer fanatics, the most realistic electric toy trains ever made says on the cover of the 1957 American Flyer catalog. More on the new FlyerChief Bàldwin Switchers too. They have two motors and have asked Lionel to build a double unit Seaboard set with railsounds and smoke in the dummy unit. What do you think of that James?!

THAT IS HUGE!

Really insane detail on this big boyo, but around $2000? I hope it can pull my ass around the tracks

Very cool.

Whoa. Very Kool n Large

I’d like to get one for myself, but I don’t have $2.5K to spend That’s why I stick with the smaller (and more affordable) HO & N Scales

Very good attention to detail. Just like there real Big Boy, even down to it's horn note. This is so cool. Thanks for sharing!!

That Engine is Notorious No matter what Scale it Is Hands down.
