  1. Really enjoyed the video. Big boy looked great and especially liked the billboard reefers. Thanks for sharing the clip.

  2. This is definitely a taste of what is to come in real life, specifically at the end of this decade, when we can hope that the real 4014 is finally restored to operation on excursions. The one major difference, though, will be that the 4014 will be converted to fire oil instead of coal, as depicted with this particular model.

  3. I enjoyed the Big Boy video. The sounds were great. I noticed Ohio Central on your layout. I am also a fan and fellow buckeye.

  4. The "Big Boy" is one of my favorite engines and in my collection, I have a MTH Imperial O Gauge model. The detail and sounds on your Lionel Vision Line unit are quite impressive, as well as its pulling power. I certainly enjoyed watching your video and taking a "trip" around the layout behind the "Big Boy". I also noticed the Mega-Steam bottle; great stuff. From a fellow Buckeye, good luck on finishing your layout. Looks like you're on the "right track"!
