That's an incredible level of detail. I can't wait to see the white paper beta build up.

Kooklik,
I'll try to get the the BigBoy this week weather and time permitting. It's an outside exhibit overlooking the Missouri River. It's quite amazing to look at it from the interstate.

Here are a couple of links for some pics. The first is a collection of photos from when the train was moved from the Union Station to its current location. Lots of detail shots.

Some other links to pictures of the local train

This is what the display looks like. BigBoy is on the right

I'll try and get some more detailed shots in the next week or so.

As luck would have it, I actually had some free time today! I stopped by the train and got 20 shots for you. I'd have gotten more but the camera battery was dying, and the lighting wasn't the best. Here's the link to the picks. It's an album on photobucket.

The last picture is possibly for more inspiration. Hope they work for you. I can get more specific ones if you need them.
