TENSHODO - UNION PACIFIC 4-8-8-4 "BIG BOY" - HO SCALE BRASS HANDBUILT 1955-1957
Some shots of the Big Boy after reassembly and repairs. The paint was the biggest issue with this model. Other than some small items that needed re-soldering, the only thing I had to do was get rid of the awful paint. Unfortunately, I couldn't save the original factory paint, a shame, but, at some point it will be painted again to appear just as it did from the maker. This is engine #5 of just 25 made between 1955 and 1957.
