[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] David, I had forgotten about 4501, good point. Wasn't that engine really responsible for getting the modern day steam excursions started? As for the Big Boy, if it's anything like my model railroad, I would think the two sets of fixed 4 axle drivers is as much a problem as the overall length. But, as David P. Morgan said, "Steam fares better in the flatlands" - now maybe for different reasons. But, I could see it running flat out on the UP's triple track mainline in Nebraska without much problem. Not so much over the former DRGW. As for a steam roundup, how about another city the UP and NS share - Kansas City. That great terminal still stands, although not sure how much trackage remains in that area other than the mainline. That would be a sight: NS 630, 611, 4501 and UP 844, 3985, and the Big Boy.
