Paul,.........Er zit voor zover ik weet en heb gezien water en stookolie in de door mij genoemde extra tenders van UP Heritage.Groet Peter,
...de allergrootste stoomloc ooit...
But I Thought the Big Boy was the Largest!You may have noticed that UPs Big Boys did not "win" any of the above categories (except that without the tender, it has the largest engine body of all reciprocating steam locomotives). Many books will cite that the Big Boy is the "largest" steam locomotive ever built. Why is this?Even though the Big Boys did not "win" any of the categories listed above, they always "placed". If you were to eliminate all of the unsuccessful and test locomotives from the above tables and then look at the overall ratings of the remaining steam locomotives in the above categories, it would become clear that the Big Boys (along with the N&W Y6 and A, DM&IR M, and perhaps the C&O H-8 locomotives) were the "largest" among all successful steam locomotives.For those interested in discussions about what locomotive was the largest, there is an interesting archive of information here.
