For all you Big-Boy fans:
 
	Monogram (purveyors of plastic models) has announced a non-functional
HO scale model of a Big-Boy.  This will be rather like their previous	
NYC J3a Hudson in construction.  The good part is the proposed price:
    $10.00 (that's ten dollars).  If this comes to pass, it will be a 
much cheaper way to get a Big Boy than to shell out $180+ for a running
model in any scale you care to name.  It will supposedly be out in early
summer.  (This info. comes from a trade newsletter published by the
Wm. K. Walthers company)

oops! I rechecked the newsletter.  The Big-Boy is due in early fall.
