Hello Beeline: just as an aside, ALL of the locomotives you list are articulateds, what they are not [necessarily ] is "true" Mallets ,[compound articulateds]. 2-8-8-2's, and 2-6-6-2's were amongst the most common of these after 1918, especially the USRA designs. One of the best known HO model 2-8-8-2's ever,is the N&W "Y" series made by Rivarossi off and on for nearly 40 years now. There were quite a few 2-4-4-2's on smaller railroads in the west & northwest. Prior to WWI, 0-6-6-0's and 0-8-8-0's were common, and during that war, the 2-8-8-0 became very poular. There were many many more popular wheel arrangements for articulateds, most of which never even got a 'nickname' regards / Mike
