This site has now been visited 
times since the counter was installed.
NOTE: It would appear that my pages
are limited by AT&T, without warning, to 30kB!
Thus, I have been forced to add this page and separate
pages to fit the lengthy Berlinerwerke saga in HO and Z
scales.

Articulated Locomotives.
Duplex Locomotives.
Triplex Locomotives.
Geared Locomotives.
Odd Locomotives.
Wayner's Articulated Locomotive Photos Index.
ARTICULATED LOCOMOTIVES
Mallet Compounds, Simples, Little River, Yellowstones, Challengers, Big Boys, etc.
{to follow}
DUPLEX LOCOMOTIVES
B&O George H. Emerson, PRR Q1, Q2, S1, T1, etc.
{to follow}
TRIPLEX LOCOMOTIVES
Erie Matt H. Shay, VGN, etc.
Here, by way of Australia, of all places, is what appears to be a builder's photo
of the Erie's Matt H. Shay 2-8-8-8-2 triplex, probably with her erecting crew:

GEARED LOCOMOTIVES
Shays, Climaxes,, Heislers, etc.
{to follow}
This belongs here, below under "Odd Locomotives" (they don't get much odder),
and under Critters:

[BIG turntable girder, anyone?]
Many geared steam locos were converted when they reached the end of their
useful life by removing the boiler and cylinders and hooking a gas or diesel
engine to the drivetrain; this example, a converted Heisler, is a real doozie!
ODD LOCOMOTIVES
Certainly, few large steam locomotives are odder than the AT&SF
jointed-boiler articulateds, the VGN 2-10-10-2, or the
Soviet Class AA20 4-14-4. For odd big diesels, I doubt anything
could top the PRR Centipede or the
German diesel-pneumatic Hudson.
I guess the oddest electric had to be the small Swiss steamer with a pan on
the cab roof and a heating element in the boiler!

See the exceedingly-odd Heisler, above, under Geared Locos (geared locos
were odd enough to begin with!).

WAYNER ARTICULATED LOCOMOTIVE PHOTOS INDEX
(16 Sep 04)
Robert J. Wayner, author/publisher of Railroad Work Equipment and
Special Service Cars, which slim volume is just chock-a-bloc full of
oddball cars for the jaded modeler (see my Rail-Auto
page, also put out Giants of the Rails - An Articulated Steam Pictiorial.
Since Wayner did not index his book and I created my own index out of
desperation, I'll reproduce it here.
A sampling of those of most interest to me follows. Some are repeated
elsewhere in my RR pages where they are of specific interest. Where
appropriate, I have linked other of my pages on which the specific area of
interest is covered in more detail. Those posted here are in no
particular order, other than by Wayner's pagination and image location:
Index to Wayner's Articulateds:
(16 Sep 04)
[Since Wayner did NOT include any text (other than a few long
captions, and the book is only 48 pages long (plus two each inner and outer
covers), I am not bothering with cross-referencing. I have also not
bothered checking out some of the obscured wheel arrangements and illegible
road numbers.]
