I can remember once, going across Kansas where the highways always seemed to follow close to the tracks, when I was a wee one in the back of an old Hudson with Dad's foot to the floor and hearing this 'awful racket coming up'. After watching it bellowing (for lack of a better word) by us, I thought that had to be the most beautiful creation mankind had ever come up with.Seems to have looked just like the one you have here.I'll take one

Unfortunetley the all-black Rivarossi model is incorrect. None of the UP Big Boys had black smokeboxes or fireboxes. I'm not knocking your reskin, just letting you know the HO model isn't accurate.Joe Shalbotnik.
