Model Railroading > Big Boy in PADate: 11/09/24 09:16 Big Boy in PA Author: u34ch My son and I after working on a Alco FA in the back shop in Steam Town, we walked over to the Big Boy. We were testing each other on what things were used for ie:
valves, levers, pipes etc. When a park ranger saw us and asked us if we wanted to go and see the cab. After sitting in the Engineers seat, I was amazed how only 2 people ran this beast. When asked by the park ranger how we knew so much, we told him we ran many different steam engines before. He looked at us in amazement. We never told him they were 1.5" scale. We have been live steamers for almost 40 years. |
