Thank you for the confirmation. I always admired the PRR as they made their own equipment but fake news is the new reality. The engine would be possible but probably never was built.

There are a lot of people on here that know more than I do, but I suspect a configuration like that for a steam turbine might not even be possible.  The PRR S1 used in inordinate amount of steam up to 40 mph.  Like the triplexes and compound articulateds, I suspect a 6-6-6-6 turbine would have run out of steam fairly quickly.  

However, Baldwin in the teens did develop plans for massive articulateds that dwarfed  the 2-10-10-2 that the Santa Fe experimented with.
