  Big Boy traveling off line ?
Posted by: Charlie B - 11-01-2025, 10:23 AM - Forum: Upper Berth - Replies (2)

NEWS: Union Pacific announced via Train Magazine that they plan to run their 'Big Boy's Steam Engine from coast-to-coast to celebrate America's 250th Birthday. The plan will be worked out with Norfolk Southern, the company that Union Pacific seems to absorb over the next few years, meaning that steam power could return to the Horseshoe Curve and Altoona as soon as next year.

  Trying to figure out manufacturer
Posted by: cnrglen - 10-10-2025, 06:55 AM - Forum: Upper Berth - Replies (6)

I got this vintage HO structure and I'm trying to figure out who made it:

   

   

It's plastic with an opening door. I've already figured out it's not the Revell/Heljan crew shanty. 

Anyone know?

found this in the junk box an old Bachmann and after better trucks and couplers a good wash added window glass a new stove pipe and a touch of red on the marker made a good-looking cab.
