It's Friday and time for the OGF Star of the Weekend. This week, we have selected David1 (David) who I have known in our O-Gauge hobby for many years. David is always congenial to meet where I see him most often in the Halls at the York Meet. His favorite railroad, the Union Pacific.
As always, let's make the FFF a huge success this week.

Congrats/congas Dave. Always happy to oblige where the UP is concerned. This is one of a couple of the MTH versions I have, the monster UP80 coal turbine - a real behemoth: ![42545EB9-8FEC-45F6-8AFC-4930CB819EC4.jpeg](//storage.forums.net/7085221/thumbnailer/KqhKIXKBUwYUrELHtXNp.png) This has just had a glorified tire change on my makeshift workbench. It has 12 traction tires in total, most on the B unit. Maybe it’s overkill but there are 4 motors, 10 powered axles, 3 smoke units and 2 sound systems (it was a PS to PS2 conversion): ![F5917BEA-A626-4AAC-A32D-2D4EF17AF0A5.jpeg](//storage.forums.net/7085221/thumbnailer/gMxsihXSVnOHaWdAnqwY.png)

Congrats on being the Start of the Week David! Very high honor on the OGF.
I don't have any UP, but I will share video of my new B&M passenger cars sometime this weekend.

Big Boy is always in style. Yes indeed. These are two of my fave photos of the reconstructed 4014 on the rails: ![BigBoy_WyomingWinter.jpg](//storage.forums.net/7085221/thumbnailer/NHtYiQFfkGwKHXqvbgwd.png) ![IMG_6021.JPG](//storage.forums.net/7085221/thumbnailer/HVfZHmKbUhzKbmMWWEKT.png)
