Happy Birthday! It's nice to see a younger guy in the hobbY. Nice engine and video! Good luck with it.

Congratulations, Merry Christmas, and Happy Birthday. What a wonderful engine to celebrate with.

Fun video and great birthday present.  Nice-looking roadbed too

Well Joker, a very happy birthday to you, and a Merry Christmas too.  I am envious of your birthday present!  Love that "lonesome whistle".    Nicely done video.  Bob

Joker, a happy birthday to you and Merry Christmas.

Happy Birthday, Joker, and thanks for the video.

 

However, to be fair, I don't think you can any longer describe your home as a "non-smoker household."

great video - nice locomotive!

Happy Birthday!

Yes Pingman just ask my girlfriend about the smoke. It dosent help that I put coal burning scent in this engine.

Happy birthday! Thanks gor sharing.

Happy birthday to you my fellow foamer!  I'm waiting for my engine #4006 to arrive Monday 29the as I've got the reefer cars to go with it. Hopefully I'll post some pictures with it running at the club with a huge consist behind it!! 

Happy Birthday  JOKER, Have lots of Fun with that beauty and thanks for sharing…..

Coal burning scent---she must like you a lot.

Show her the list of scents of JT MEgasteam offers !  Ask her to pick one !

 

if you are using the MTH Coal scent , just Throw the the bottle out !

I love the mth scents, but the coal or diesel scents ! 

 

I use the Christmas scents or plain by MTH !

I Like most of JT's scents !  Skip the Coal & diesel scents !

 

worst case use the plain scent ! 

 

 

Happy Birthday Zac,

 

It's a beautiful engine, can't wait to get mine

Can't think of a Better Pre-Birthday - Christmas for you! Loved the video and what a smoker! You must of been a Really good boy this year!

I am waiting on the caboose and the boxcars to go with it. I was really hoping the caboose would have made with the engine but oh well at least they got the engines out.

I only use megasteam, I have the vanilla as well. She is ok with vanilla but I have to burn some coal scent here and there.

Very nice loco.  Fantastic smoker.  

Yep, same here. I didn't realize that there are
Three sets of boxcars out there. Chris from Charlie Nassau
Talked me into another! I'm ready to roll now !!

I may try to pick up a 3 pack to go with my VL 3 pack. Just hope I can find some when they release.

I had ordered 6-8114 (VL reefers) and the 6-81908 reefer 3 pack to go with my Bigboy.  What is the 3rd set of reefers?  I can't seem to find them.

I think there is a 3rd set in the volume 2 catalog.

 

I have a aux tender on order as well as the big boy caboose in the volume 2 catalog

Joker,

   Now that is a very serious happy Birthday/Christmas present, have a great time

running her!

There is a total of three sets, one with sound the other two not.
I'm going to try and stick twenty cars and see what it looks like.

Got the one with the flag on order. Your caboose is the one
with the surviving big boys listed? I've got the K-line version already.

I ordered the tender with the flag, Big Boy Commemorative Ca-4 Caboose, and the regular Union Pacific Ca-4 caboose.

Maybe in 10 years from now Lionel will be able to top this and I can buy that for my 40th birthday.
