I would say my Big Boy model would be a fair contender - the locomotive is 64
bricks long and the tender is an additional 33 bricks, making a grand total of
97 bricks. The wheel arrangement for a Big Boy is 4-8-8-4 plus another 7 axels
on the tender. There is a picture of a very early prototype on my web site,
but I will be posting pics of the radically different final model soon.
