Jerry B44 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I bought two big boys, had them sent to Ray, both had broken frames. So I gave up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoles Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I would not buy that one on ebay! It states the sound doesn't work. It also said there is a bind in one of the driver sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Markoles, It sold for $710 and sounds like it is a mess! Getting weird out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginear joe Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I bought a Erie Triplex that also was in bad shape. I worked on it for awhile and got it to run. It shorted out backing over a switch. It survived but I haven't touched it for over a month now. Saving it for a rainy day. That list is getting longer!

Jerry B44 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Glad you found one, I like mine a lot, like all 3 of the MTH steamers I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoakam Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yes i am very happy with my steamers but it is getting much harder these days to get some of the older MTH stuff for reasonable price so i hope they last long and makes pleasure.

SteamPower4ever Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Here is short video to share it with you Ver very nice video, Carsten. I like the way you place the camera at very low angles to the track and trains. Well done. Jens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrentGroth Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 If anyone else is looking for a MTH Big Boy, I have one never run, never out of the box. I'm not excited to get rid of it, but I might be talked out of it. I also have one each of the MTH Challengers that might be available. Please understand there is nothing wrong with these. I was working with Walt Permann, who owned Custom Model products, a distributor of Accucraft, and Row, brass in gauge one. When he passed, and the distributorship closed, I purchased some of his inventory. So, the MTH that are duplicates of the brass, MIGHT go.
