The "Big Boy" was a Union Pacific design. That's an EM1, presumably the Bachmann model. Nice little video, though!

Yep, it does that too.

But it's left something behind, hence the train divided message

What I know about American stock could be written on an atom (well, somehow maybe)
A certain great friend in Scotland models the B & O so I really recorded it for him and have WhatsApped it to him :)

I'd hate to be the fireman. That's a really big loco-tender gap!

Luckily I think all the big American articulateds (in fact the majority of anything bigger than a Pacific) used mechanical stokers.  The EM-1s grate area is over twice that of a 9F. I'm not sure anyone could throw coal around that far enough or fast enough!
