Thanks Scooby!
Wow, your reallly into big steam, good for you!
I met three guys at this one train sightseeing place called "Cassandra Crossing" (not that far from where I live, from Johnstown, Pa) It's a nice little spot to watch trains go by, you got a curve on the right and a 3 mile straight on the left and just watch them go by either on the bridge or hillside. If your ever in Pennsylvania, Cassandra Crossing is a good spot to watch, and of course there's the Horseshoe Curve (located about 30 miles from Cassandra).
Anyway those three fellas were talking and my father and I jumped in. We talked and everything and I told one of them that I have the Big Boy. He asked if its a good puller I promptly said "Yup, it sure pulls without effort!" Although the guy is a diesel buff I think I might have gotten him into steam a little.
