How to Build Small Lego Union Pacific Big Boy (MOC)

Building guide for my own Lego creation inspired by articulated 4-8-8-4 steam locomotive manufactured by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) between 1941 and 1944 and operated by the Union Pacific Railroad in revenue service until 1959.
Thanks for watching and comments :)

[@Dustdoxz]

I don’t want to that guy, but that’s a 2-8-8-4 “Yellowstone”. The “Big Boy” is 4-8-8-4. For those of you confused about the numbers they just denote the wheel base. Two leading wheels (unpowered), eight driving wheels (powered), eight driving wheels (powered), and a four wheeled trailing truck (unpowered).

I'm glad to finally see someone who knows what they are talking about.

This MOC is spectacular and it perfectly captures the look and charm of a Big Boy. Absolutely beautiful. I know you probably won’t, but I’ll will admit that Big Boy is just eager to haul loads of rolling stock. All and all, this is a masterpiece. Keep up the good work.💪🚂

Thanks for your positive feedback.

[@Fxetren]

13:05 I love it, just like the 4014 big boy.

[@damer4life528]

The first lego Union Pacfic big boi i ever seen, congrats Frant, ya really are da lego artist man, i wish id be in Barorov.

[@michaelabrahamt8651]

Great design btw

Thanks :)

[@KIG48.Official]

Good job

Thanks :)

[@thebluediesel]

Pro tip: if you remove some of the boiler pieces and 2 pairs of wheels you can make a challenger!

Thanks for useful tip - I hope I will make this train (Challenger) too. Looks also very good.

gotta love it and thats smart taking it apart and playing it in reverse to get a video i like it and i like your style and i love trains

[@toyotacorolla4268]

Its much easier from builders perspective. Imagine he builds this model first time there are gonna be lots of errors when designing a lego build taking apart and putting back pieces so when he gets it done its easier to just take it apart and reverse video than taking it apart and building it back

Thank you very much! I actually built it and im satisfyed

Thanks for comment :)

[@ffkarle]

Is there a detailed parts list for this build? I would like to build this for a grandchild of mine.

I'm not sure, but I think it might be on my Flickr - www.flickr.com/photos/hajdekr/.

[@michaelabrahamt8651]

Quick question not a hate comment! Did you reverse you taking it apart? Bc I noticed you violently shoving pieces together but if you are it’s a smart idea because sometimes you don’t keep track of how you build things so reverse light g you taking apart helps you as well so you can rewatch the footage if you forgot how to put it together when you finish they video

Yes, I recorded taking apart - the easiest way for making instructions without eidetic memory :)

[@oddsidian1691]

[@1972Ray]

Or, you could build the real thing with Nifeliz's Big Boy set. 1800 pcs, 70$. Why Lego hasn't done this loco is odd, but if they did it's be 300$.

So wouldn't it be Small Boy now?

Thank you had a video I'm making the big boy

[@kellysmith1144]

So it's basically 3-wide. I wonder how much work to make it 4- or 5-wide and compatible with wooden tracks... Hmmm...

Could be more detailed in the bigger scale.

I like it it’s just why are the wheels correct but the tender isn’t forward?

I made some mistakes in this model, but I was too lazy to repair it...

[@heavywithdrip3458]

Yeah Ik but hey it’s a great look for it

The up big boy is my favorite steam train

[@dattienngo662]

1 reason, cause it’s the biggest train in the state of America?

WHY IS THE TENDER BACKWARDS

well maybe the coal slides to the footplate and then can be shoveled

[@kellysmith1144]

It is backwards, actually. Probably easy to change in the model though.

@@ammonite5093 In the actual loco the coal is moved into the firebox by an Archimedes screw.

[@kellysmith1144]

@@santafefanproductions786 In this, I guess the water goes under the grey panel? Though as the builder says it was made using only a photo or two. And as the top is reversed it will be an easy fix to swap them around.
