Bought mine a couple of weeks ago! The box showed its age but the locomotive is excellent. It was very thrilling to find one after all this time.
Cool....the model will last a 100years as its very well made...
@@hovermotion Indeed! These locomotives will outlive us for sure!
Awesome locomotive. Excellent video.
thanks....
Lovely 👌
I liked seeing your video, especiallly the rollerstand. I haven't put my Big Boy on the stand yet because I worry about the support. Thanks!
Thanks yeah it is a very heavy loco..🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃jim
🚂 woooo woooo !!! 😲

beautiful movie and beautiful locomotive. I would like to know the product code of the support with small wheels placed between the tracks and the locomotive, which allows you to do a complete test without the locomotive moving on the tracks. thank you
Hi , thanks the wheel sets are form DCC CONCEPTS , I do not have them anymore ,thanks Jim.
Hello, I’ve owned this model for over 10 years and it’s been in storage for a while. Today I opened it up and then foam actually melted onto the locomotive. Is there any type of product that will dissolve or get rid of the mess
Hi No way..was it in storage in an attic...
You can try :"Goo gone"
Goo Gone Pre-Cleaning Sticky Stuff Remover Adhesive Remover 8oz / 236ml of spray form.
This product does not melt paint etc. But you will have to let it soak in.
There may be a chance the paint may be stuck to the fome as the loco is all metal..
Be careful ...
Now throw an TCS WOW or a tsunami2 decoder in it

Congratulations! What an awesome model!
very nice looking loco.
I know , a sight to see when finished ,an amazing loco .
A skilled friend and I had to dismantle the tender before we could get access to the coupler. We didn't replace it but despite our care probably damaged something when putting it together again. A major design flaw is the inseparability of loco and tender !! There is literally NO room for error and many parts (like the front steps of the tender) are extremely delicate ! But mine seems to be working fine again ..... but still have to find out though :-) Thanks also for your great video. Love it !
Excellent presentation. I liked the bit about what you told your wife when it arrived from Germany.
Hi many thanks....this model is the king of my collection its off the layout at the moment on a display shelf ..my wife still doesn't know about it...lol
Hi, many thanks, yes it is compatible with roco track as this model does not have the u.s rp 25 wheel sets, also you should not have any problems with the roco lokmaus 2 as it is a standard dcc controler...jim
what more can one say other than- magnificent!
stunning
lovely vid
and amazing loco
ade
Thanks Adi...
Hi Jim, many thanks for your reply to my questions regarding
The Big boy, and the heads up on the other supplier in Germany.
I'll check that out later. As I'm waiting for a MTH to ship their latest
Big boy offering that I've had on order for quite a while now.
But, your review as also wetted my appetite to check out the Trix
one, and I may well get one at some stage, although it would be in
it's all new glory paint job..!
So, thanks again your time is very much appreciated.
Terry.
No never knew that great project to see this awesome loco moveing again in the future..the cost to run something like this today is huge ..jim
many thanks , some people collect & never run the models, i run every model i can with the exception of very collectable models....jim
Its one of my fave locos so well made..jim
Did you know that Union Pacific RR has decided to restore one of the remaining Big Boys? That's gonna be an awesome sight to see someday!
Im.from the future & yes it is 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, its UP 4014 in Pomona, California. Not too far from my house actually. I went by there a week ago and the UP Steam crew has been there taking apart the driving rods to check the bearings and grease it up for the move. Should be taken to Cheyenne, Wyoming for the rebuild in a month or so.
Jim, you got the BB-Beast ! really amazing and unbelievebil
Hi terry you are welcome, the big boy class are amazing to just look at even better when running what ever make you go for....jim
This train I am purchasing from India
Thank you sooooo much!
Really appreciated :-)
Hi, i do not know i was messing with adding music from the youtube muisc files something ive never tried before...
on this model.... thats right, jim! high prize, but very high quality ! many value for your money ! I buy my big boy brought on ebay
Beautiful loco buddy! The original Rivarossi's are good but quite old by now & this later Trix one has to be far better. I'm still quite happy though with both my old Rivarossi ones! Great vid, enjoyed & liked & looking forward to seeing her on your layout. Cheers, John.
this is now my top five fave models...
Hey Jim thanks for the tip. I'd already set my Sky box to record it! Best regards, John.
Thank you. Cheers
Nice
I do like this model, trix have launched a factory weathered version aswell a few monthe back, i have another similar 2-8-8-2 loco from roco u.s collection which i fitted lok sound four and a base reflex spraker to which sounds & looks amazing when these two big beasts run at the same time on the system..
Thanks Jim, I was just checking out the supplier in Germany you
mentioned earlier, and he does have the best price in the E.U.
So, I just need to make up my mind if I want Two Big boys, or I
want 'Two Big boys'..! 'lol' :-)
But that loco you've got there is stunning..! And although I prefer
the new look paint finish, I would consider the slightly weathered
M22062 #4014..! This one is being refurbished to running order by
U.P in the U.S at this very time.
Thanks for the great review Jim
NICE MODEL
Yep, they hope to have it up an running around 2019, plans also call for the locomotive to converted to run on fuel oil instead of coal
many thanks..jim
You have a wonderful collection Jim. My grandparents neighbor has a wonderful collection of unused Roco and Marklin steam, Diesel, and electric locomotives I am trying to get on ebay for sale. I think roco runs on DC track.
many thanks, this loco is so heavy it could easy pull 100+ wagons..
Not to mention a strong puller, oh also did you hear about how Union Pacific acquired a Big Boy for restoration to operation? :D
I also have one and I love it, wouldn't trade it or sell it for anything in the world. :D
I am purchasing
many thanks ,extream care is allways needed but like you say sometimes parts break i have a supplyer in the u.k that is good at locating parts with a number ref: also i use ebay of germany as there many specialist supplyers for roco fleischmann marklin trix electrotrian etc. i have never had any problems ordering even thow i do not speak german.....jim
i am very happy on how it handles the curves & my double slips, it can run at a very slow speed without any problems,,thanks..jim
It has one of the better sounding whistles of all the others I've heard.
Hi ken...its got a very good sound powerfull speaker on this model. ..Thanks jim....
Many thanks, i have another vid comeing soon of a model i think you will like very much ...jim
Ive had no problems with this model , but i do all the strip downs & decoder install & programing so if it breaks its not a big deal, i know what you mean as when i got mine it was a day or two before i unbolted it from the plinth...
I will get it on my system soon running along side my other roco 2-8-8-2 u.s loco...jim
I've seen 4017 in the National Railroad Museum, Green Bay, Wisconsin and 4023 at Kenefick Park, Omaha, Nebraska. Beautiful machines. Built to do a job. A liitle on the awkward side, but they worked. Nice model. Not sure I like the American radio chatter. I guess that was what it was. I do like the sound of those American steam whistles. I like the British too mind you. Lovely, simply lovely.
Thanks Rob...it's one of my top 5 locos. ...
It is perfect
Very true....Its a very fine model.....
i like the track made in ur desk where u put your steam engine
Hi, that is my mobile test track which i use for sound & chip programming which is now been made longer ...jim
It will handle a 360 radius curve as it has articulated wheel sets & standard wheel sets, the. U.s version would be a different case as it has rp 25 wheels..
many thanks next is the run on the system & the smoke gens....jim
as oscar wilde wrote..being married makes a life of deception absolutely essential haha!
This loco is awesome and awful at the same time ! It is no doubt a gem like no other but it can also be a big worry if things go wrong. I have the 4015 with Sound and smokegenerator. It just came back from Holland for a major repair, had its tendercoupler replaced, and also its faulty decoder replaced by a much better one plus a separate one for the smokegenerator. It has been cleaned thorougly and looks the part again. But I still haven't had the courage to detach it from its wooden plank !
Hi,
First of all, I really like your videos. Very clear and well done!
Because of the above and the fact that you have a 22115 Trix Big Boy, I'd like to know. Do you know if a) it works fine with Roco tracks and most important b) if is it compatible with the roco lokmaus 2?
Thank you very much,
Kind regards
Hi , i will post the shop on the info area soon for this vid...jim
enjoy john....i know you will!! jim.
Has any new news came out with the restoration of Big Boy 4014 ? It is taking place in a roundhouse at the Cheyenne, Wyoming rail yard. Started moving it from Pomona, California 2014 and the scheduled date to be completed 2019. This information I listened to on the local news stations and news papers. For rail fans this will be BIG like... Like STAR WARS. Or if you are a sports fan, to see your favorite team win big. My interest is to just get an update.
Vat man , Customs, the wife , you got some secrets to keep Jim , They call them the Big Boy and I can see why , a beautiful model Jim , how will it cope on the curves ?
I know you probably don't get asked this but, what camera and editing software do you use?
Great video and an outstanding model!
I wish MTH have package their Big Boys the same way. It is kind of a pain to remove from the packaging without damaging it. Both handrails on the boiler broken off the walkway.. Also the model did not run properly from the start. Anyway I once had the Athearn Big Boy No. 4019 which was a nice model. I have since sold the model. Great Trix Big Boy BTW.
Thanks Maurice ..
The marklin trix version of the this model are built like tanks very heavy.. with fine detail...
Jim👍
RIP MTH and kleinbahn
@@raymondleggs5508 Yes may they RIP..
Thanks john , p.s do ypu know about the model rail program on bbc 4 wedensday 23/1/13 9pm called mad about sets ? Jim....
many thanks , my smart phone samsung galaxy s2 is what i use for photo ,vid, editing,uploading, i do not touch my p.c ...its so easy .downside is the frame rate on the vids is not as good as a stand alone camera....jim
Hi, Two questions please. Would this Big boy run Ok on Peco code 100 track?
And, how did you order the loco direct from the manufacturer in Germany?
Many thanks.
Hi , yes peco code 100 nickel silver is the same dimensions as marklin trix track epcept marklin is three rail pickup..it will run fine .
You can order from guage master u.k if you are in the u.k but with a huge price hike but you have pice of mind doing it that way. You can order direct from marklin-trix quoteing my model number , but i tracked down a even cheaper supplier on ebay germany ; johnvandamme , he even has the very limited run weathered version in stock now trix 22062. Jim
Very nice. What is the song at the beginning?
I paid £460u.k pounds from germany but the prices change evey time items are listed from say germany due to the exchange rate to u.k pounds..jim
Do ALL the big drive wheels have wheel flanges? I thought I saw a pair without them which would explain how the locomotive could make certain turning radii...of track... thanks...
Hi, the model has euro flanges {not rp 25} on all wheels but the drive wheels have extra flex on eight drive wheels enabling running on curves as tight as 360 radius..
does it have working smoke because i wanted to buy on based on the quality and condition of that beautiful engine i have been looking for one for the past 2 years and i have finally set my eyes on TRIX after watching this video and i was wondering how much does it cost because to have a beauty like that on my layout i wouldn't want any other train.
Hi there...
Yes it has two smoke units but you have to buy them extra from marklin .I have not installed them yet they power up from the light number box..I paid £470.00 for this new from germany. .I did see a new one on ebay germany last week sell for £370.00 which was well below the list price...these latest models have gone up in value as they are very limited. They normally sell for around £600-700 and that price is worth every penny. ..also there is a weathered version without the smoke deflectors. ...jim
ok cool but the problem is is that idk if id be able to buy one from germany im in the us right now do you know if it'll ship here
Hi ian i will post the web site & ebay shop name for the model shop soon,,
I bought this model from Märklin - three times. First one arrived, and the boggie with the wheels was loose and the screw missinng. Ordered a second. Pieces broken on the model. On number three there were scratches in paint, broken and missing parts. I returned all of them.
That's very bad was the box factory sealed?
hovermotion Yes, factory sealed, bought directly from a serious Märklin dealer. And since the locomotive is attached to a wooeden baseplate, there is no way this could have happened during shipping. Must have happened before the model left the factory.
No way ..I would of asked for a refund and bought elsewhere. .if a model has any defect I send it back unless stated or ask for a big discount. ..
Very nice, how much are those Big Boys?
i wish i can hav a lay out with alot of diesels and steam but they cost to much :'(

Repost this to every train video you watch!
@Epic Cat Face, started this!
A quick question - Is the decoder inside this Loksound4?
I am checking now. ..
unfortunately it's a trix custom chip....
Thanks Jim.
0 gauge or G scale
can you let me have the name of the shop in germany you buy from?
regards ian
Whoa, they are so expensive...
I can see why!
How much did you buy it?
Around £470 u.k pounds
It looks like the 4014 bigboy
Very similar. ...
Its worth every u.k £ this model..
ㅁㅁㅁㅁㅁㅁ
I can't understand how they justify that price. The model is inaccurate,(smoke deflectors) and the sound is VERY poor and inaccurate. There should be 8 exhaust beats per wheel revolution, and that whistle is nothing like a Hancock 5 chime. Think I would rather have two Athearn Genesis Big Boys for that money!
yeah you are very correct. ..they never ran them with smoke deflectors. .this was an experiment based model with odd modifications.
And regards to the sound it's not correct at tall but this is how they would sell more units with this treditional sound file for this model.. (I was thinking of up grading the sound file to the proper sound).
The price for these models are worth every penny I think as they are built to a very high standard in German and will go up in value over the years.
+hovermotion they certainly do look to be well built, but are they any better than the competition? Obviously better than Rivarossi, but then you can pick one of those up at a fraction of the price. There are some excellent sound decoders on market now, the obvious choice being the Loksound. I have also been impressed with the TCS Wow Sound, check out a few reviews on youtube. I really like the way the exhaust note gets louder as the engine works harder, and then just rod clanking noises as load decreases...
+struck2soon Not sure about all the other big boy makes..this model has fully articulated drive wheels so it can take very sharp curves without ever derailing..these marklin trix models were made for the u.s market (rp25 wheels) and European market (euro wheel sets) .
Have you seen one of these models in person ...they are impressive as they are around 90% metal and the detail is very good. .the best is hidden away and that's the drive system and motor it's flawless.
Re : sound files that's exactly what I want on this model what you say......zimo or esu will probably be my choice custom programmed with the programmer and p.c.....in fact esu have re vamped the bigboy sound file to the prototype sound so that will be the one of choice.
I will have to rip out the marklin decoder and fit a loksound v4.0 if possible.
