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.

Hello Dan,

Your not alone anymore in the Big Boy locomotive world.  I enjoyed seeing pics
of your big boy on your web site.  Great castles by the way.  Nicely done.
Please visiit the NGLTC website by James Trobaugh.  www.ngltc.org
go to images, Pedimont, second page of pics, top center.  Tell me what you
think.

Thanks
