Union Pacific BIG BOY 4-8-8-4 1/48 Scale
Hi to all
 Thank you for all supports those made U-Boat could be a product. Like filling up more confidence to me to create more projects. And here is it.. I would like to introduce "UNION PACIFIC BIG BOY 4-8-8-4" in 1/48 scale. The model length is 870 mm (34 inch) include tender. BIG BOY is known as the largest steam engine , weight of 500 ton , 120 km/hr maximum speed. This machine is very impressive. I wish to put as much details as paper can do. Internal links , suspensions , brake system will be added. The model is designed based on original drawings from "Union Pacific"(30us$ in CD format). 3600 drawings are contained in CD. The drawings were drawn since 1939. No layer separation as todays' CAD drawing. I took very long time to get understand with some drawings. Same as U-Boat , I'll design and build then report the progression. This project prototype building will be in color version. I started to draw 3D 1 month ago. I try to put realistic machanism parts as much as i can understand the drawings. OK.... let see the starting of BIG BOY BB Pic 2005-06-19_big-boy.jpg Front Engine FrontEngine-01.jpg Engine Truck EngineTruck1.jpg Suspension Links FrontSuspensionSystem-01.jpg

When you said you were going to do a steam locomotive I had no idea you were going to do T.H.E. steam locomotive. You may put me in the "when will it be done" list <grin>. I will be following this thread with great interest!

Hi to all
Thanks for your warm welcomes to the loco project. Not much progression on design right now. Cuase by the office jobs. Even U-Boat's error fixing job also , still no time to do it. But this weekend I'll complete the fixing patch. Wait NOBI come back from his vaccation. I'll ask him to upload soon. BR. ----kooklik----
