I'm slowly getting there in acquiring all 25 in HO scale. I just have to spot the right deal. Working on finding a deal on an O scale model as well for comparison. Attached are some pics of the 1/32 scale Big Boy #4012 running on the Rocky Mountain Garden Railroad Society's display.

Both of those Big Boy models are G guage. The 4012 is a brass model at 1/32 scale with same scale Corvette and Chevy pick-up next to it - weighs 35lbs engine & tender combined. The 4014 is slightly bigger at 1/29 scale and is much heavier (being a diecast model) at 75lbs engine & tender combined.

A CN 2-8-0 "Consolidation" that was spared from the torches. Thanks for the pic.

Big Boy is my favourite as well. I'm trying to collect all 25 cab numbers in HO scale - without renumbering any. I'm missing 8 but have a couple of duplicates and one unpainted brass model. I also have two in G guage and two in N scale and a plastic HO model of a "Canadian Pacific" Big Boy!

The 76 is metallic silver with red interior. it has a '79 - 80 style spoiler bumper and has aftermarket 5- spoke wheels, dual exhaust with long - tube headers on a 400ci engine. I stopped and checked out their car on Canada Day and gave them an application. The car has some slight front end...

I'll send an email to all those registered this weekend with further info. One question I've had is if the Saturday night buffet dinner is open to all ages with the bar open. I confirmed with the Ag Society and the answer is yes - all ages welcome. Some model year Corvette's coming (from...
