Yes, the screw holding the eccentric crank in place came loose allowing the eccentric rod to flop around. I didn't notice until it was too late. Yikes!

When I was a kid (maybe about 10), I had an actual sleeping dream that I received an AHM (Riverossi) Big Boy for Christmas--ridiculously-wide flanges and all. I don't know what I would have done with such a big locomotive, but it seemed too fabulous to be practical about it. Now that I've seen it, though, I might dream tonight about that 4-12-2.

The valve events on the rear engine unit on 4018 at 4:21 seem to be a little bit out of adjustment or at least unrealistic.

Correct! The screw holding the eccentric crank in place was loose, causing the flopping of the eccentric rod. I didn't notice it until it was too late. Very humbling!

Great locomotives collection you have ! Any problem on curves with UP 9000 , does the middle drivers slide a bit sideways ( left right motion ) ?

Very touchy on curves, despite considerable lateral play on the three center drivers. Near perfect track is needed. Two out takes showed derailments due to curves and bumps in the track. But, they are great otherwise!

WOW I love Steam I'm thinking about buying a Big Boy. Which has the best sound? Which one pulls the best? I know, I ask a lot of questions....
@MrFrost-bi1br2 жыл бұрын
In my opinion, MTH is the best hands down! Brass is great, but no sound and no smoke. The MTH smoke is quite realistic, eight strong exhausts per driver revolution (two engines, four each), and pulls great. The sound is also good for a Big Boy. The appearance is great with some added attention. No BLI for me.

Several had to be converted to Tsunami DCC, as they died and could not be recovered. Some have been trouble free for years, while others have just gone silent and nothing else would save them. So far I have converted four (2 Big Boys, 2 Challengers) to Tsunamis. I am working on a third Challenger now.

@@MrFrost-bi1br Thanks for the reply, I have several MTH Big Boys, so far so good none have died. However I'm curious what you did to shorten the drawbar space between the cab and tender? Even using the closer pin hole mine are still sitting to far apart for me aesthetically.
@MrFrost-bi1br2 жыл бұрын
@@bad92vet27 The drawbar pin itself has to be moved back toward the rear of the tender. Drill and tap a new hole just to the rear of the existing hole. Some material may have to be removed from the area where the pin protrudes, but the pin doesn't really have to move at all since it moves at the engine end.
