The Big Boy is the largest articulated steam engine ever to grace the prairies, although heavy the Big Boy could go 80 MPH without hauling anything. Some might speculate that the Alleghany is the heaviest, although some facts are not what they seem. Nothing like Big Boy has ever been seen, only 8 remains in existance.

Union Pacific Big Boy final by ~nieaCry is a photoreal view of an amazingly detailed model in a beautiful environment. Well worth a close look! (Featured by ^joannastar)

Absolutely amazing! Amazing job getting the photoreal textures and lighting.

Mind telling me how long this took to render out and what kind of system you used for that?

Do yourself a favor. Get the facts right before you argue with me. Otherwise you might get a boot full of concrete reality headed for your head.

wow! that's simply stunning. when i saw it on the DD list, i thought it was a real photo for a second.
great perspective and everything's so sharp. i love it. reminds me of a level from resistance: fall of man, and somethingelse i can't really put my fingers on. but i love it and it's well worthy of a DD!

Some day, it will all still make no sense whatsoever.

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
