4-12-2 ? I have been wondering whether there are - or were - any around, I have never seen one with six driving axles that I can recall.

Cool !If you want to note some thing else of interest on UP9000, look just under the smoke box. See that round drum. That's a 3rd cylinder. The arms on the top of the valves over the main cylinders are the timing rods for the middle cylinder. And as for the wheel arrangement, there where bigger.....a 4-14-4 was once built. Then bigger still if you get into articulation.
Cool !
I wonder how they negotiated the curves and there was probably plenty wear and tear involved ...I suppose they were used on selected regions only.
Has anybody created - or planning to - create a 4-12-2 or 4-14-2 for trainz ?
