Finally Got My Z Gauge Big Boy

Wow!  Now that collection is just phenomenally cool.  I'm jealous.  It is interesting that a Z gauge Big Boy costs as nearly much as the forthcoming Vision Big Boy, isn't it?  

WOW!  love the G scale. 

Now all you need is the 1:1 model!

A very interesting thread. Thanks!

Beautiful collection.

Very cool!  Do you have any closeups showing the detail?

Now you need a T-Gauge version to complete the set. 

That is called the "Money Shot ".... Very nice....we need some pics !!!!

That Z scale Big Boy almost lured me to the scale. When I saw a video of the Big Boy pulling a string of reefers and how much layout I could get in my 12 x 30 space.....tempting....but then I remembered how much trouble N scale has with dust......and running back to 3 rail O!!! VERY cool display!

Thanks for the thread. It's always refreshing to hear from folks who appreciate all trains, regardless of size or scale.

 

Here's the American Z Line webpage with pictures of the 4000 Class model:

Impressive. Most impressive.

Nice collect and great eye catching display.  I never thought a display like yours could possibly happen 10 years ago.  Thank you for posting.

That looks great !!!!!!!

That is a display that any train person, regardless of gauge interest, would be very jealous of.

 

Thanks for sharing!

Very cool display!

Beautiful display and a very nice collection.

Is that a Big Boy in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?  

 

Seriously, VERY cool.   Z scale just amazes me, especially Z steam.   I can kind of wrap my brain around Z diesels but man, the steam just blows me away.   

 

You gonna run it?  

This is something I want to do someday, only they'd all be running, at the same time, on the same layout...

Wow, this is a museum-class display!  Just awesome.  You have done a great job with the big boys literally growing from the ceiling on the custom wood shelves, plus the accompanying video. 

All I can say is, "Wow!"  Hard to believe a Big Boy in both G and Z.

Those AZL models built by Boo Rim are incredible.

Beautiful display!

Thanks for sharing

Have you looked at Fine Art's 1/32 scale big boy? I see your G scale is 1/29.

That is neat!

That is a Little Big Boy.

I have a few O Scale Big Boys, that G scale one has to be a monster!
