I see a certain bias here :p <br /> <br />The thread calls for "world's" most succesful, yet gets only locos from the USA ^^ <br /> <br />The most succesful of non-articulated big steam locos would be Kriegslok BR 52 2-10-0 with just below 7000 examples built (not includng about 1000 derivatives). First built in 1942 by nazi germany these locos became widespread all over europe and after the war served anywhere from france to USSR with many having 50 years of service (the las were taken out of service about 1990). <br /> <br />If the sheer size is to be taken into account then bulgarian class 46 - 2-12-4 tank locomotives used for the steepest coal routes (sometimes triple headed). They also served several problem-free years.
