The biggest, the strongest, the grandest American steam locomotive. Only 25 were built and now - for the first time - Pentrex shares ALL 25 of the Big Boys in action in the most incredible display of steam power ever!
A recently discovered film collection of professionally photographed 35mm movie film from 1953, combined with material from the Pentrex archives, makes this new production the ultimate tribute to the Big Boy!
Pentrex is proud to bring you each one of the 25 Big Boy locomotives - numbered 4000 to 4024 - in one thrilling display.
Several of the Big Boy locomotives were featured in the September 2001 issue of Trains Magazine. Now Pentrex gives you the opportunity to experience them all!

This is an impressive video. I have watched it twice in the last 24 hours and am quite pleased w/the contents.
The camera work is quite good and there are not many recycled shots (lots of fresh material). The train audio is also quite good, and the narration is basic and factual.
The DVD has an option which I want to encourage: "no narration" - I realize there are only so many ways to describe a run by and I would rather hear the train. This is a great idea and I hope it becomes a common feature.
