Our lead Product Developer is working at it. Stay tuned to our social media feed as we will be posting some CAD drawings of the 2019 era #4014 Big Boy.
@Kld4402 It's supposed to be a hobby, cant sew a parent gifting a child a 200$ price toy to place on the ground and watch to go around and round. Especially with viedio games.
Just because YOU'RE NOT, A "WHAT if'er" Doesn't mean, there AREN'T, quite a few, running loose, in the World 🌎 ! How do you know, there AREN'T, any who would like to have one, in BRITISH GREEN, OR in Royal Red?? (Or a 'Whacko', painted Blue, or Canary Yellow ?
Yep. The owners of Athearn Trains is Horizon Hobbies. They are more concerned with RC stuff than model train stuff. It’s kind of sickening. That’s why a lot of guys have left and gone to scale trains.
As noted above, they made the n scale announcement in a separate video: ua-cam.com/video/LAU_6mrSUPg/v-deo.html Several brands have done Big Boy in N scale, this isn't the product to complain about not getting in N scale.

Western Pacific would have made sense because they actually looked at buying Big Boys at one point.
Dang, so western pacific could've been Norfolk and western but more foamed at
To my horror, the date is not April 1st..... Good lord.
@Athearn when will you be announcing the CPKC Gp38-2 and GE ES44ac Tier 4 diesels??? Thanks- Joshua Smith
We'll announce it in a new announcement video like this if we do.
Can we get some small Genesis steam? I bet UP 4466 would be a hot seller

Any updates about the third dynamo on Big Boy number 4014?

Will you guys do 3985 again
NdeM big boy goes incredibly hard.
That N de M one is so darn cool!!
Thank you!
If they are going to do Southern Railway, why not go ahead and do one with Coca-Cola or Hardee’s
Licensing.
I wanted to see it run
Maybe make a steam locomotive from a railroad other than the UP.
We have, including Southern Pacific. Our smaller steam is also produced in various roads.
They did have an articulated somthin didnt they? They kept em out the Nevada desert, so practically no one saw them.
Have Athearn lost their way?
Make a set of commuter trains across america and make it a reasonable price that an average family can afford.

I think "Trains" printed a b&w of one of em, and didnt get one response.
I hope the southern units don't sell very well to show how HORRIBLE AND STUPID of an idea this was and should have just stayed that. A idea.
Oddly enough, we usually sell more pre-orders of the Legendary Liveries before other roads.🤷♂
Thats interesting. I never knew that.
Does the world need yet another HO Big Boy? In Southern green? 🤨
Yes.

How do you know, there AREN'T, any who would like to have one, in BRITISH GREEN, OR in Royal Red??

BIG BOY NACIONALES DE MEXICO, WOW, que excelente propuesta por parte de Athearn
Thank you!
Wow!! This is incredible!! The southern green looks incredible!! ❤
Thank you!
Did ATSF, SR, and NDEM had big boys in reality?
No these are part of our Legendary Liveries.
As usual, N scale gets dissed...

I know the feeling. I ended up switching to HO last year. Now I can get everything that I want.
There was an N scale big boy announced minutes after this....
