This one certainly had us Ooing and Ahhing as we fired it up for the first time - What an incredible model! You could spend hours going over every detail and still find something new every time you look at it.

This is a very rare opportunity to get the complete setup - Many times these are sold without a way to actually run them but we are including the power supply so you will get everything you need to set it up for display and fire it up yourself to show all your friends and family.

Provenance: This is a one owner model and it has been very well cared for.

IS IT REALLY WORTH $21,500?..... Well, this is the cleanest and most complete FAM Big Boy which is why we really don't mind holding on to this one. We realize that the average price for these is a bit lower but we have this beauty prominently displayed in our museum room and it is a real eye catcher! However, as the saying goes, "everything is for sale", so if there is a collector out there that wants a near perfect, operating replica of the Famous Big Boy, well... the price for such a rare beauty is $21,500!

SHIPPING: We would prefer it if this could be picked up in person. However... if this is not possible... we recommend shipping by palatalized freight. Please email or call us for a quote if you are seriously interested.
