Oh, those Standard gauge locomotives :laugh:
there are no such companys. you could prob. hire someone to replicate one, it prob,. wouldn't be operational and it would be a lot of money. if you wanted it operational you'd need even more money..... prob. cost 500,000 or more to have a contractor put one together in todays economy.
he typed this
no no i mean the real locos you know the ones that are five times taller than you.
he wants to build or have built a real reproduction heavy pacific.

Somewhere there must be someone who would if the price was right.

not quite what my plan is. I'm kind of planning far ahead and dreaming realy. I got an idea to either buy a Pacific 4-6-2 and repaint it to blue comet paint scheme or if i have to make one from scratch. then i would either buy, reporduce or if mueseums do it borrow the remaining blue comet cars. Then somehow talk CSX and UP into letting thier rails be used for it. Go from coast to coast halling passengers so people can see what the old steamers looked like and even ride on them while going to a destination, but the real goal would to preserve the history of the Blue Comets history.
If that works and is profitable enough i would probably do other historic trains like the Super Chief, The Norfolk and Western passenger train, and The Daylight. Better to think ahead than last minute.

thank you i would be very glad if you could find one for sale probably would save a lot of money and time:laugh:
It would be nice to have one in my backyard and drive it till i can find a real one
plus could allways take it to CSX and UP as a model representation of what it would look like seeing as they probably have forgotten all about steam locomotives nowadays
