Jerry B44 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Would be a good time for MTH to re-run the Big Boys, especially 4014. With all the publicity about it and the Aristo closing I would think many may turn to MTH for their purchases, IF there was anything to buy. I would pre-order one.

markoles Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Jerry, I sent them a note requesting this, and they said they would consider it. Frankly, given the excitement in the railfan community, I think it would be a no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginear joe Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Yeap! They already have the tooling. They're installing PS3 with DCC onboard in others. Seems like it should be a good candidate? Maybe they're working on it or something else? Tough to guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Yeah I do agree. I wouldn't be surprised to see this in next years catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Not sure how many pre-orders they got for the new streamliners they had in their catalog, I think they would get more Big Boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoles Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Jerry, if they had announced a Streamlined N&W J 4-8-4, I'd have preordered one... still sort of tempted by that NS executive F7.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Miller Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I purchased a slightly used one on Ebay a few years ago when new ones were all gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I love mine for sure and are THE most run engine on my layout. If I run trains I run Big boys and if I run Big boys I run the MTH ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
