This will be rather like their previous NYC J3a Hudson in construction. The good part is the proposed price: $10.00 (that's ten dollars). If this comes to pass, it will be a much cheaper way to get a Big Boy than to shell out $180+ for a running model in any scale you care to name. It will supposedly be out in early summer.
