paultorrey Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Ray, did he give any update on the Big Boy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 No. His presentation didn't talk much about current models/production and spent a good portion of the alloted time talking about the Premium version of the Wifi app and answering questions.

Jim Miller Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Raymond, Got a new project to keep me busy until the BigBoy arrival. Decided to do some S-scale. Ordered some MTH S-scale ore cars for my AF GN Challenger. Have an AF SD70ac coming today. My first train was an AF PA Comet passenger set back in 1956; still have it up in the attic; time to bring it down. ..................JIm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry B44 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 So when does it 'roll' in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 From what was said they would be coming in three separate groups from overseas with supposedly the first batches being sent out in a week or so and the rest arriving over the course of the next 3 weeks. MTH does have a completed sample of the 4014 with oil tender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping this means everything (2015 and 2017 catalogs) is lined up at the factory for now through summer, and we won't have to wait so long after all! Now let's see if they get the Big Boys out this month as currently scheduled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 The MTH One Gauge Big Boys are now in-fact shipping and have some on the way. My orders will be filled in the order they were originally placed but from what MTH has indicated the full delivery of engines should be here in the next 3 weeks.

Rayman4449 Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Video of the first 4014: For those who have been notified of their arrival of their engine, I will be reaching out when each engine is ready. These are taking time to fully inspect and test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
