There was a machine called the Allegheny type which I think was a 4-6-6-6 which some believe was actually more powerfull and heavier than the Big Boy. Trains ran an article on it a few years back and said the weight was questionable because the C&O didn't want to pay the engineers what it was really worth to operate the machine. I have seen pictures of it and I think it looks better than the 4-8-8-4. The article explains that the maker said it was lighter than it actually was and if the truth be known....well you get the hint.
