That is a good looking engine Eric. The gloss paint really sets everything off nicely. After watching this video and the one where you reviewed the other MTH Big Boy it seems that the restoration Big Boy's smoke unit does not have a fan. Other than that MTH certainly did its best on this engine. I also prefer seeing the gloss black tender rather than what Lionel did. Looks much more prototypical even though UP decided on using 3985's tender since it was already set up for oil and then painted it later on.

If the PFA soundset is the primary reason for spending the big $$$ for a new model, you can just save money by upgrading any existing PS 3.0 Big Boy by loading the updated sound set into the older Big Boy via the DCS system. That being said, all other reasons considered, if you have the money then by all means buy the new model.

This MTH model is just as good as LIONEL's VISION-LINE Big Boy. The only difference I see is the Glossy Black Paint job of the MTH model version, and the "BLOW DOWN SMOKE EFFECT" from the VISION-LINE model. The whistle and sounds of MTH are ON THE MARK. And if you are a bit concerned when it comes to the price, MTH wins that one by a landslide.

@chainsawcharl1e677 the chuff rate can be changed from 1 chuff per revolution up to i believe 16 chuffs per revolution, so you can choose how many you want and eric probably didn't feel like changing it or prefers it that way, so mth didn't try to scam us or anything, it probably just shipped with the 2 chuff rate as default
