i'm looking for...pardon me..WAS looking at getting a dash 9 in santa fe livery garden gauge as an 'objet'....and was surfing about and found a firm named 'Asta' in japan...NOW i want a 'mallet' or a 'big boy'....something like that......beautiful but expensive....looks like 3-4000 dollars for a live steam model...
hard to believe the U.P. 'big boys' were designed to get 3-4000 tons up mountain grade and now...only a few years later 8...10...12000 tons is nothing to boast about.
