and if you wanted a Mallet, have a look for the UP big boy built in to TRS. That's one of the biggest mallets around...

On bahnwerk.com I think there is a Gt 2 x 4/4 (later BR96 of the DRG) of the K.Bay.Sts.B., it is a big mallet that was used in Unterfranken before the second world war, I do know how good it is having not downloaded myself. Personally I would be looking more for Garrets.

Sorry HJP, but it's an articulated, not a Mallet (OK, I'm being picky, but can't help myself...) A Mallet is a loco that has high pressure cylinders that exhaust to another set of low pressure cylinders on the second set of drivers. The big boys were articulated locos as per mallets, but had two sets of high pressure cylinders only.
TRS2006boy, these things take a considerable amount of skill and a lot of time, so don't just happen. There are numerous articulated locos available, such as the Challengers, Big Boys, Uintah Mallets etc as pointed out by others in this thread. In future you may want to ask a little nicer too, as people on here will be very helpful to those who are more polite...

ur thinking all mallets are compouds, IE: rear set is high pressure front is low, actualy the big boys and chalengers ARE mallets to, just the other type of mallets
Sorry daylightlimited but Tony is right. Common usage of the term particularly in the US has confused the issue so that now most articulated steam locos are often called mallets whether compound or not.
A qoute from the wikiepedia:
Mallet's original design was a compound locomotive, in which the steam is used twice, first in a set of high-pressure cylinders, and then in a set of low-pressure cylinders. ... Purists consider only compound locomotives to be true Mallets, but especially in the United States many non-compound ('simple') locomotives of a similar pattern were built. Unfortunately no good name for this design ever emerged, and they tend to get called 'Mallets' nonetheless, or 'articulated' which is a little too non-specific. Unlike the case of the rigidly-framed locomotive, the Mallet design is more complex to build simple than compound, since then steam pipes and exhaust piping are needed for both pairs of cylinders.

In my case a mallet is a big hammer with which to perform Monty Python esque gags upon my brother for my own entertainment
