Hi --
Actually, that is not enough. The Sunset Big Boy was built at a time when
scale S was changing its track gauge. I would bet that if the loco has
never been out of the box that every wheelset, including the drivers will
have to be adjusted for correct gauge. I also think that some of the
model's dimensions are a bit off considering that it was the only loco to
run on the old SLE&P that was too tall to get through my tunnels, and that
includes the FEF3, Daylight, UP Challenger and Allegheny locos which in real
life were every bit as tall as a Big Boy. That being said, that model is
very rare, and would be worth having even if it was never put on a model
railroad.
Have fun!

The Sunset is a scale model. Enough said.
