So Bergie initiated a poll call "monster locomotives" and as usual, Canadian content was non-existent - no surprises there if you are Canadian. But I did assign Bergie a homework task which he did not do - the question was - did Canada have articulates? Many Canadians don't know this so I knew it was a bit of a homework challenge. In fact in the Atlas N forum a member there said Canada had only one of them and I seemed to recall the number was higher than that. So here is an email from a friend of mine who has given me the definitive answer: "Rick: You're right. CP had six 0-6-6-0 articulateds built in 1909-1911. They operated for about 5 or 6 years before being converted into 2-10-0 class engines. So, I would call them failures rather than experimentals. Additionally, two small logging articulateds which were acquired second hand from the U.S. ran on Vancouver Island until the late 40s or early 50s." So now Bergie you are one of the few in North America who knows the answer to the Canadian articulate question.
