The CP Huntington is a bicycle (1 driver--4-2-4 non-rigid-frame tank engine - i.e. a pivoting pilot truck - if I remember correctly), and I'm pretty sure it is at the Calif State RR museum. SP kept it around for years and took it to exhibitions. You should be able to find loads of photos of it, even under steam. It doesn't have a giant driver, but in this day and time it would be unique, although it wasn't the only one. The British had a number of rigid frame 2-2-2 passenger bicycles that ran for years, and photos of those are also available--these had relatively big drivers and many were inside-cylinder. The real killer was that they had very little tractive force and when the cars got heavier, they couldn't get even a normal train over the line. <br /> <br />Hope this helps. Happy hunting.[:)]
