Missouri. The 4-8-8-4 Big Boy, No. 4006 (the same one depicted on the Revell box), is located at the St Louis Transportation Museum, a few miles south of here.

This project is coming along nicely.

 

I have always wondered why static locomotive model kits weren't a huge genre of model building.  There are a few out there, but they are on the fringe of the mainstream.  

 

Trumpeter among others has some interesting 1/35 locomotives and there are some 1/72 kits out there too, in terms of rail guns and what not.  

 

I will probably take a stab at one of Trumpeters' 1/35 Dampflokomotiven one day.

 

Keep up the good work Typhoonattack!

Dream on. The only time I was jealous of a classmate was when he told me he was working his way through school as a fireman on a Pacific type steam locomotive on the Chicago NorthWestern railroad. I  used to hear those trains at night from my bedroom window. I was green with envy.

 

Enjoy :punk:
