Steam Locomotives are the coolest!!! Never gets tired of looking and running them.
#4023 wearing his new look.
I got my promontory version at a very good price, even lower than what I would’ve paid thanks to some trade ins, but that TTG/W version is beautiful. After I get a big steam decoder from Soundtraxx I’ll be swapping sounds and adding my first Scale Sound Systems speakers to a model. Can’t wait! :)
That’s going to sound great!!
Awesome very smart idea the Paragon 4 sounds aren't great at all
9:14 Why does the alternate whistle sound like the siren from the Purge movies? lol.... awesome video!
Awesome 😎
The greyhound 3977 is much more appealing than 3985. Love that scheme my first model train was a greyhound 4-8-4. To this day I am determined to get the same model and put more money than it’s worth into upgrades.
Good video Mr James 22” long that a big box that a lot of info in the owner manual they do pack it real good for shipping good review nice looking Eng it going to sound real good on your layout thanks for sharing my friend……Robert
Love the engines - too bad they couldn’t put the special ceremony on as a recording. Can’t wait to see you put that together with your brass passenger cars for a 22 cars special with auxiliary flag tender . Too cool. Can’t wait for the completed layout - looking good.
No sanding pipes needed on the tender. It is not driven, it is towed. I am not positive, but those pipes might be for heated water to keep the water reservoir and the fuel oil on an oil-fired locomotive at a temperature where it can be fed into the locomotive.
Got my 4022 today. Sadly it has a little bend and chipped paint on one of the tender ladders. Probably not worth making a return for, but with how much these cost... Looks like all 3 of yours came in perfect. Congrats and thanks for the review.
They should cover the shipping if you want to return it. Not its your fault, and considering the price it is crazy that they would let that slip.
Very impressive UP "big boy" model, I would like to purchase an ho scale model of a big boy locomotive sometime in the future but first, I need to find a higher paying quality job/ earn some additional income so that I will be able to actually purchase one of these expensive models.
I had lot of Trouble with mine. 1st, it will nit drive at Roco R5. And it smelled after 2 min like burned plastic when I use smoke. 9month lafter after repair the same. Now I ordered the rivarossi BB w/o Smoke.
4023 is my favorite Big Boy, and tbh, the Greyhound livery isn't that bad on it
I finally got my 4014 Bigboy from trainworld. I was wondering dose the rolling thunder system still work with the new paradigm 4 since it says it only works with paradigm 3? Love the video and love that gloss finish on the Bigboy.
Hey what is a paradigm 3 or 4? I'm just getting into trains
4023 in the Greyhound there is a fantasy scheme
What's the best way to do replacement of the road wheels ( the rudder traction tires ). Both on HO and N Scale. Is it better to send a N Scale in to the service department ( Big Boy)
And the Bli Gp30s and 35s???
😍😍😍😍😍👏👍
James are you getting the Bli Paragon 4 Commodore Vanderbilt Hudson NYC and the P4 Gs-4 Daylight Southern Pacific???
Bli is coming out with a GS4 daylight ? or Do you mean there's another company making one because I haven't heard anything about Broadway making another GS4 since Paragon 2.
@@thehind3119 Yes I got confirmation from Bli that they are doing a Paragon 4 Gs-4 Daylight from Matt Williamson
@@JoshSmith-eq7kp this year or next year and brass hybrid Paragon 4 or just regular Paragon 4 locomotive
@@thehind3119 Possibly next year and I'm assuming it'll be die cast
16:00 how do you put them on I got my self 7058 too but I didn't want to Ruin the front of the locomotive
Instructions are vague. I got the latest release of 4014. No lubrication instructions. How do you grease the gearbox's?
Nice
Do you have to put smoke fluid down in the whistle or are all of the smoke stacks and whistles come of the same reservoir. I’m buying a big boy brodway limited with a steaming whistle and I don’t know if I need to put smoke down the whistle
Just fill it up through the smokestacks is what I’ve heard.
Not real thrilled how the smoke chuffed out!?
What going on at about 11:25 to 11:28? The rear set of driver wheels jumped or popped. Hope it's nothing.
Why is the front deck on 4014 bouncing when it runs?
absolutely, hope all models don't do this. Hopefully just a side rod issue on this one.
Pls anyone suggest me a best locomotive for food service in restaurants
Can you run this loco on just DC?
Sort of, i was doing this until my DCC came in. It wasn’t great on DC, perfect on DCC though
video should of been 40:14 long
my big boy does not smoke
Hello , is this the highest rated HO big boy?
My opinion here.. yes, but the sound imho is terrible and mine will get upgraded to SoundTraxx Tsunami2. Die-cast it’s heavy and pulls well. Enough detail, but could use more.. but it son par with all others I’ve seen. Just not a fan at all of their decoders and sound. Not reliable and sound terrible. After upgrade, it’ll be great!! I’ll do mine soon.
Than you sr then I rather wait for Scaletrains to bring their big boy and challenger
@@RoylandLara they do steam locomotives???
@@JulianWatsonThe400 they will, since they bought MTH tooling
BLI engines still sound like the old QSI junk systems from 15+ years ago. My BLI Big Boy and UP 844 sounds absolutely atrocious when compared to the likes of my MTH 611 or Soundtraxx-equipped Southern 4501.
They need to junk their proprietary sound system, and go with something that doesn’t suck. For $800+, it should sound better.
