Yes, I picked up mine at the Post Office today. I had a peak at it at work today and it's gorgeous. The wheel set alone is amazing with the articulation and side-to-side movement on the mid drivers. And pretty heavy too! I can't wait to get it on some track with a Snail controller to burn it in. Then hopefully David L can show us the way to DCC the beast. A sound decoder awaits it's day to honk it's horn. -JamesTraction

Quick update... more Big Boys are heading to dealers today and early next week. It looks like we may be out of another road number or two. I will post updates in a few days.

Nice, can't wait for mine. would love to get sound on that bad boy I'm going to install the ESU LokSound micro 73816 with four CT Electronik sugar cube speakers. . The two speakers connected in parallel and the pair connected in series will bring the ohms back to 8. ESU can do 4 ohms also according to their web page. Should sound great... and BIG.

That "sounds" fantastic HA HA get it "sounds" . I have to get a new dcc system, my little digtraxx zepher burnned up. Looks like things have come along way in the z scale DCC area guess its time to get on that bandwagon.

Got mine today. The drawbar got bent slightly in shipping. Some clumsy postal worker. Getting it fixed and starting the DCC install.

I got mine. Just like the Challenger. And I can see where they could use the motor driven rear drivers dropped into a Mikado frame for the heavy and light models.
