Larger even than that Russian 4-14-4, this imaginary locomotive.

There is a picture, and a nice writeup on the Russian 4-14-4, at:

It was finally scrapped in 1960.

It is a shame it was not preserved in a museum; if for no other reason than to capture an attempt to one-up the rest of the world that failed. Of course, moving to a museum site would have been a challenge....
