This poll is decided on size from end to end.

Having seen the two side by side there is little to say for the DD40AX,they are almost the same length, but the Big Boy looks a lot larger![:0]

I'm assuming that by bigger you mean having the greater mass and not longer.

75% of votes are wrong. The DD40AX is 10 FT longer. That is what this poll means. But the 4-8-8-4 is 100 lbs heavier

It's DDA40X, not DD40AX. : )

Well, in my opinion, I think the Big Boy is biggest, but from reading the posts on this forum, I guess the DDA40X is!
