Now, I really want that UP 4-12-2, but I am worthless at 3d design, so I guess we will both have to wait for those that have the skill.

Jan-05-02, 11:25 AM (EST) 4. "RE: UP Big Boy 4-8-8-4" I asked that question a while ago, and got the same response. Have you seen the Mountain 4-8-2 Locos from Trainartisan? Not quite a Big Boy or Challanger, but they are pretty damn nice. Hopefully someday, some big steam will make it into the sim (not to say the Mountain isn't big, but...).
