About Big Boy 4-8-4-4 (Number 4005) by M.P.Lynes
Nearly three feet long, this special version of the Big Boy works on standard Lego curve track and is kept under 10w to fit most platform spacing. Twin PF motors power both sets of driving wheels. PF battery box and IR receiver in tender car. Livery designed by me as well, and kindly printed by the highly talented Million Prints on standard Lego parts. As the original designer, I choose 4005 because it rose from the ashes of a wreck, like my namesake.
