2DISCLAIMER: I do not own this model or these pictures. The pictures were taken from Ebay Sold Listings. Ebay items only stay in Ebay's archives a.k.a. "Sold Listings" for about 3 months, and then they are gone forever. I am making this video in order to save and catalog these pictures and information from the Ebay sale. I chose this model because, at this time, there were no pictures and / or price information available for this model at http://www.brasstrains.com/BrassGuide/PDG/Detail/36734/Gauge-1-Steam-Union-Pacific-4-8-8-4-BIG-BOY
