I'm glad to see this monster project continues. These trailing truck parts are superbly crafted.

Kooklik you are the king.

Why not start offering the tender and the engine without the cab and boiler now ?
By the time we are finished building that part of the monster, you may be ready for some of the rest ?? All laser of course.

Hello Rixtoys
I sent vector files to have a laser shop in Bangkok cut it.

Hello bielingg
The tender has not been colored yet. There is still many things to do before launching.

I, too, am ready to pony up the US dollars to buy your kit, Kooklik. I've got your Type VIIC. Your work is beyond compare. Even Uhu02 cannot compete with you.

Union Pacific BIG BOY - Long Term Project

Hi Kooklik,

This is one of the longest term projects on this site. I'm impressed with amount of self discipline required and your persistence on this project. Congratulations are in order!

It appears that laser cutting is slowly catching on and may become a de facto standard of a new generation of ready-to-assemble (RTA) models.

Best regards, +Gil
