Here is my best representation of the infamous Union Pacific Big Boy #4014 locomotive!

The Big Boy locomotives were built originally in the late 1940s to haul freight throughout Wyoming. Built in a massive 4-8-8-4 wheel configuration, these locomotives were insanely powerful and to this day are the most powerful steam locomotives ever built. Only 25 of them were constructed and today we only have one left in operating condition, Big Boy #4014.

SPECIFICATIONS:
- Top Speed: ~80 MPH
- Water Capacity: ~88000 LITERS
- Coal Capacity: ~2050 COAL
- Towing Capacity: Yes

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Ignite the firebox using the key switch
2. Set the damper lever to 1
3. Set boil rate to .15 (This is what you change in order to adjust how fast pressure is accumulating)
4. Watch the boiler temperature until it hits +100C
5. Turn on the water injector to add water to the boiler.
6. Watch the pressure gauge until pressure starts building, then turn off the injector.
7. Adjust the boil rate lever so that you don't put too much pressure into the system. start slowing down the pressure accumulation at around 6 units of pressure until it hits 8 units. At 8 units, the system will automatically discharge steam to keep it below the explosion point, but keep an eye on the pressure just in case.
