Great video. The Big Boy always gets my vote.

Great break down! Love that you have two now, look so good on the layout together. I know what you mean, the decision between the two is not so easy, can't go wrong with either.

Great review! I’ve always been a fan of the Big Boy so watching them run on people’s layouts is a treat.

Cool comparison! Both are great models!

Awesome side by side and cool upgrades on 4014. I like the legacy version better. The sound dies it for me. 😃

Awesome! They both look nice! I would choose 4014. I like the whistle on that model better than 4006. 😊🚂

The whistle makes for a compelling argument! Sounds so good!!

Thanks a ton! I never thought we’d have both here. Original plan was just to find the LC2 but that proved to be tricky… so I went for a Legacy deal I couldn’t pass up. And then nearly a year later this 4014 fell into place.

Wow

These locomotives scream America! 🎉🇺🇸

Nice video review and comparison Mike! It must be amazing to have 2 Big Boys in your collection. From your comparison, I like all of the operating options on 4014 but, for me, I prefer the more specific comms and sounds on 4006. But, that’s just my opinion. As an American Flyer modeler, it’s not likely I’ll have a Big Boy in my collection so I’ll enjoy watching everyone else’s.

That’s such a crime. I’ll start a petition for a Flyer Big Boy if you help me with one for a LionMaster 844 😂

I’m hoping that they will make a LC+ 2.0 Challenger collection when the real one is restored. Also, I don’t have TMCC or Legacy, but I wonder if the LC+ 2.0 Big Boy would have more dialogue when run under TMCC?

There’s more generic crewtalk if you have it on TMCC or Legacy. I have a few engines that share that dialogue as well.

Nice review, what’s the true LC2 minimum curve?

So far it’s handled everything I have. It says it can handle O31 and my sharpest curves are O36. There’s a lot of weight up top, so running full throttle through tight corners will likely end in a derailment but otherwise they’ll use their articulated witchcraft to stay on the rails.
