The Big Boy is now managed by RSC. I was told quite a while back that they intend to update it. I'm not sure why they haven't yet.

What about the Challenger? (my user name's not what it is for no reason UP 3985 is my favorite steam Locomotive! )

Sorry! I don't know anything about it.

I have read a couple of Dereks posts about the forthcoming Sherman Hill route, and he has each time made the comment " there are some interesting challengers in its creation" to paraphrase. It would be challenges if they were talking about a challenge, but "challengers" if talking about 3985 and family. Can only hope this means an upgrade, but would definitely like to see the 4000's done too

Just my observation...

Or it could just be a typo, "r" being right next to "e" on the keyboard....

Challenger is still available thru Steam, just type the name in the Steam store search box. That's how I bought it bundled with RW.

You might be right, but adjusting my tin-foil hat, I think it points to something else. Derek is always quite careful in what he says and how he says it and to make the same "mistake" more than once in different posts but about the same topic, when there are no other anomalies or spellers in the posts, to me points in the update direction.

having said that, wouldn't be the first time I am wrong

Hey, You know not if you ask not!

Would love to see these ^

and, upgrading. I say let's keep hoping for that upgrade and remodeling/overhaul

(and that would be extremely difficult, none exist anymore. Not impossible, but difficult )

[UP3985]

and I would too like to see these

I have been led to believe that there is a new screen shot being shown on Twitter, but as I cannot access that place I don't know what is being shown. Can any one help?

Thank you. It appears my prayers have been answered. That certanly appears to be a late model SD70m.
