Video explaining how a Big Boy works

Probably the best graphic presentation I've ever seen, about the zenith of steam loco engineering.  I can't imagine how long it took to create this in CAD, or how many moving parts one of these engines had.  This came to me via NMRA news.

Debatable I agree.  Steam locomotive technology stopped advancing 10 years later when the last loco in the US was built, and just in terms of sheer horsepower.
