Big Boy sideswipes Hudson

Modeling Rolling stock
#1

Jens Bang’s USA Big Boy split a switch and knocked his USA Hudson to the ground recently.

Jens said he has completely rewired the Big Boy using much larger wire than USA used. He also has re-adjusted the weight distribution. He said the factory Phoenix sound has quit, so it went back to USA to be replaced. Slowly but surely he’s working the kinks out of it. Jens say it will easily pull 140 cars! jb

That is quite a picture! BTW how many Brownie Points did the "engineer" collect? Or was the conductor really "in charge"?

Warren, between you and JB … I’m surprised Jens lets you two near the stuff! All we hear about is pile-ups and “mishaps”!

Not Me! No Sirreee! Uh Uh!

I haven’t been out to Jens this year at all. He’s got girl trouble.
He just sent me these pics and a fantastic DVD showing the Big Boy struttin’ her stuff on his layout in the snail mail for Xmas.

Would that be the light of an oncoming train?

No…well, maybe…sort of. He needs to see the light and slip out of that dog collar and run like hell.

Ooooh, kinky stuff!

Mind you, me grandpa wore a “dog collar” on duty, but that went with the job.
