Larger even than that Russian 4-14-4, this imaginary locomotive. http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?o ... l_Hero.jpg |

There is a picture, and a nice writeup on the Russian 4-14-4, at: http://home.att.net/~Berliner-Ultrasonics/bw-apoc4.html#russki14 Amazingly, it was stored for 25 years at the Shcherbinka test facility :
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.... -James Hefner Hebrews 10:20a Surviving World Steam Project |
