I got this the other day all for $60 bucks. The Big Boy runs perfect but it is missing one ot the front cylinder exhaust pipes and the bell. I don't need the bridge, my layout is not that big, becides I would have to try and remove the current track thats on it. I will also have to replace the Department of Defense loco.

Those parts missing from your Big Boy are usually easy to come by on eBay. Ken, I got my UP big boy #4014 pratically mint in box for $100at a show.

Great score. I have the steam pipe; as for the bell a Cal Scale one works great.

| Trestle is an out of the box AHM kit which turns up now and then, I have no trouble getting $25 or so for them.
