Touché ! :salute:

The 'Big Boy', they had to use 8 axles to distribute weight, so the wheels would not cold-weld, with the tracks. Have one from Rivarossi in HO scale, a friend has it from Maerklin.
Another US friend helped restore a 4-6-6-4 'Challenger' decades ago, working at the Union Pacific at the time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Pacific_3985

I have always been a fan of US railroading, right now i am into the very early antebellum ones like Mason a.s.o..

But those big beautiful machines really mean business :up:

Wah, great!
Thanks, Catfish
