Alberto here in Italy has just completed hi 5" Big Boy. Now that would be one to have in the garden. Mind you Alberto's track does have the space and curves necessary to run the beast.

Any chance of a photo?
Building a 5" gauge Big Boy would would be a very major project and certainly not for the faint of heart.
Friends of mine are building a pair of Australian Standard Garretts in 5" gauge they are big too. If I can remember I'll take my camera and get a photo next time I see them.

There are some pictures on Alberto's web site. It will be a while before I get over there in person.
