What a hoss! BTW! If I'm seeing right, that would be an "4-8-8-4-8-4-8-4-8-4". Hawk'Scuse me. I stand corrected. After closer inspection, I see it is a "4-8-8-4-8-4-8-4" "I've sung my song on dusty trails and dirty country backroads. To them sweetin', hard eyed, brakemen, in the rail yards I'd roll through. I've sung in blue wallpapered rooms, to girls I've played at love with. Now Mama, I'm gonna sing one song for you."

RE: Really Big Boy...
nope. both are perfectly drivable. I never bothered to watch them take curves, though. I think the "visual derailment" possibility is quite high. I was just merely abusing the fact that according to MSTS, the Big Boy is 2 steam locos + tender. so I just made my own consists.
