@FastTrax I absolutely love old steam trains, when I was living in Maitland Huntervally every year a steam train and Tigermoth had a race from Newcastle to Maitland, we never missed a year.

I never saw one in action live. They look so BIG on TV and in the Movies. I saw a couple of small yard switchers on display in the Poconos. I believe the only active super steamer in America is the UP Big Boy. I did get to sit in the cab of one of Big Boys replacement power plants the DDA40X.

That last for a good year or two then you crave taking the next conductors bid. Trust me, I know.
