Well, I'm not sure about size, but it's definitely the heaviest. "The
Captain" was 15,000 tons, dwarfing the shuttle transporter at 2,721 tonnes.
Even with the orbiter aboard, it doesn't come close.
Also, Paul Baulch did a shuttle transport + orbiter here
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=3584. This is a real model -
from memory it comes in around 1m high (maybe more). The transporter isn't
powered (yet).
