[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dehusman The easiest explanation is an articulated engine is articulated and a non-articulated engine is not. While it sounds like a wise guy answer, its not, its that simple. Articulated : having parts connected by joints; jointed (Webster's New World Dictionary) If the frame of the engine is jointed, its articulated. If it does not, then its not articulated. A USRA 2-8-8-2 has a jointed frame. Its articulated. A Pennsy 4-4-4-4 has a rigid frame. Its not articulated. Dave H. [/quote] OK, now to make it even more complicated is this. According to the Whyte Classification System all the following are listed as articulated: 0-6-6-0 0-8-8-0 2-6-6-0 2-6-6-2 2-6-6-4 2-8-8-0 2-8-8-2 2-10-10-2 (wow musta been a mile long) Now we are also familar with the Big Boy and the Challenger. Both are articulated, but in the Whyle Classification System are "Typed" as Big Boy and Challenger As Kev would say, "Clear as Mud." [:D]
