and a neat story it is, along with more nice pix. The project seems to be on schedule. Plenty of info available about it if you Google Big Boy 4014.
I just LOVE big steam engines.
The smell, _all _ the noises, the vibration through the ground.

Britains most famous engine, the Flying Scotsman, is back on the tracks after a £4million+ restoration.
Built in 1923 it was the first steam engine to reach 100mph and in 1989 it set the long distance record for steam engines covering 422m non-stop.
A few details, make and model, dates even a URL wouldn't go astray.
TIA.

will look for any info from now on. Maybe Google image search will have info on a particular picture, I do not know as I have not used their image search...
I can still smell the oil and grease that is so prevalent when you are around these beasts in the yards. I loved going into the roundhouse where they serviced the engines.
UP Bigboy?
