Define largest.
Total weight?
Weight on drivers?
Length? (with or without the tender?)
Number of wheels?
Number of driven wheels?
Tractive force produced?
Depending on your metric you get different answers. I know that to be
true, but I don't know which loco tops the list for the various
categories I enumerated.
However, I will say that if we're going length, there's a fair chance
that a Beyer Garrat may win, since those were often quite long, and you
have to count the fuel bunkers and water condensers as part of the
engine since they are mounted on the frames.
