I hate to say this but I dont think they would let anybody restore one.If some one with money paid to have it restored, and gave it to UP and said "here, have a running Big Boy" they would not say no. They would jump at the chance, no one would turn that opportunity down? Hell, who would
Hi Ferrous:
I heard the same thing about the difficulty in converting it to oil but I think thats just an "out" for them since the 4-6-6-4 was converted and works just fine. Might take a few experiments with burner positions, number, flow rate, etc but I bet it could be done (probably won't tho so back to dreaming). I used to work on gas generators (stationary jet engines) and you can run one on just about anything including bunker C (sludge which has to be pre-heated to get it to flow) and even crude right out of the ground if you get the spray nozzles right. Same principle applies to the firebox burners.

Then keep the damn thing on sherman hill and use it as a helper. If you want to make a profit, use it it as it was meant for.
