The big boy can take tight curves if that's what you're worrying about. The Trix Big Boy that i just bought can take curves as tight as 18″ radius. The one in the video is a BLI.
@@ginopalladini1737 Ah, OK. The curves on my layout are 22.5", so I believe a Big Boy like that could handle the curves. While I have seen two Big Boys in real life, though, I'm not sure I'd have enough room on my layout (10' x 6.67') to properly run an HO scale model.
@@Stussmeister You've Seen 2 big boys in real life!! That must of been something to see. Were you a young kid then or a teenager? What year was it when you saw that?
@@ginopalladini1737 I believe I saw my first Big Boy at Steamtown National Historical Park in the mid-2000s, when I was a teenager. That engine is #4012, and while it's only on static display, it has been cosmetically restored. It was about three years ago that I saw #4014 in a Utah station (along with Living Legend #844) as part of the Golden Spike 150th Anniversary.
