I've been printing a model of the Union Pacific Big Boy steam locomotive, the biggest steam engine in the world (I think?).

This is how far I have got, after 58 hours of printing - still a long way to go!  The original model was posted up on Thingiverse, it is a 1/15th scale model.  I am printing it at a reduced scale, so I end up with a 2-1/2" guage model, still pretty big.
