One of these days a trip to Strasburg is in order. I would love to see the N&W 611 in action again. @Tom Tee is on point about the sound of these large engines even just standing still on the rails. I was totally blown away by her 70 inch drivers. Got to see the BigBoy when he was in West Chicago on static display, was not able to be there when he powered up. He has 68 inch drivers. But, my favorite has always been the SP 4449 Daylight. Seen plenty of videos, but never in person - that has to be on the bucket list. As far as I can tell she may have the largest drivers at 80 inches. Just a note the 611 uses 6.5 tons of coal and 12,000 gallons of water per hour. Little wonder why little rail towns popped up everywhere!
