Re: What a monster

Several operations in South America used Kitson-Myers of straight adhesion style. Often in a smaller 0-6+6-0 or a 2-6+6-2 wheel arrangements; a few 0-4+4-0 were built. The power "trucks" or "boggies"of the drivers and cylinders swiveled under the frame carrying the boiler

There was a version of these Meyers built in the USA. Valcan Iron Works of Wilkes-Barre, PA built a few of what they called their "Duplex" 0-4+4-0T locomotives in the early 1930s. There was even a brass HO-scale model of these several decades ago.

P.S. There were a number of the Meyer Articulated locomotives that saw service in Europe. There was even a self-powered, rotary snow plow that was built in Switzerland for a Swiss railroad.
