Steam & Excursion > The rest of the 4014 story.Date: 07/24/13 11:28 The rest of the 4014 story. Author: Frisco1522 Rumor has it that the UP has contracted with Chip Foose and the Overhauling crew to take 4014 to their shop and overhaul it and they have been given 7 days.
Look for it on VelociTV. Date: 07/24/13 11:42 Re: The rest of the 4014 story. Author: SCAX3401 Can they install spinners on a steam locomotive's drive wheels?

No no no. They don't paint. They're going to create a giant duck call whistle for it. Sheesh. Get it right. Kount from Kounting Kars is doing the paint.

Danny (The Count) doesn't paint, he has that weirdo Horny Mike do it, so the Trademark Horns will no doubt adorn the Big Boy...

And with that corrected info, UP has decided to pull the paint job away from Kounts and give the contract, instead, to two street kids in Compton with a few cans of spray paint.

Posted from iPhone Date: 07/24/13 12:56 Re: The rest of the 4014 story. Author: Frisco1522 I like the duck call whistle idea. Hold that thought.
I'm amazed at these car shows like Overhaulin, Texas Car Wars and Desert Car Kings. They dig something up out of a swamp and there's always an important auction in ten days and they have to work day and night to hurry up and finish it. And it's always a frame off with a new engine/tranny/interior/paint and chrome and done just in the nick of time. Very far fetched. I like the new one on now, Fantomworks better. It's a whole lot more realistic. The boys in Cheyenne have a huge job ahead of them. At least they have a decent facility to do it in. When we first restored 1522, outdoors, I would walk past the UP 4006 and was thankful we didn't have that one to do. Twice the amount of everything and lots bigger. I wish them the best of luck and I hope it goes smoothly. Date: 07/24/13 13:08 Re: The rest of the 4014 story. Author: MJV1988 Frisco1522 Wrote:

Well lets hope they do more of a Graveyard Carz (also on Velocity) approach to it where they fix every detail on it and restore it back to original condition (minus the oil burner and pull out coupler, radiator cooling pipes on walkway and whatever else) Posted from Android Date: 07/24/13 13:33 Re: The rest of the 4014 story. Author: Hillcrest We should all be glad it won't be a "Pimp My Ride" style run she may, but shine she must rebuild...
Cheers, Dave Date: 07/24/13 13:49 Re: The rest of the 4014 story. Author: nycman Nah, I heard from a foamer that they have hired the Antonov 225 to fly it from Pomona to Cheyenne. (Right after they build the runways in both places).
Date: 07/24/13 14:02 Re: The rest of the 4014 story. Author: davew833 I heard the group in Pomona decided to accept UP's offer for their Big Boy after Rick Harrison from Pawn Stars said "I'd love to have it but it's just too d*** big for my shop." Chumlee suggested they move the "Old Man's" desk out to the back by the dumpster to make room.

Mongo Date: 07/24/13 16:09 Re: The rest of the 4014 story. Author: TomPlatten Maybe they could get those guys on American Restoration to restore her--they seem to be able to fix anything!!!!
