Just what railroads need or perhaps not.

Questions:
1. Only 9 traction wheels?
2. What is the turning radius?
Otherwise I want one.

Train from Man in the High Castle series: ...
I don't know the series but I like the look of that train. Less sure about the armament ... so decided to 'deNazify' it.
-
The only sensible guns on it were the turrets, the forward firing guns would be next to useless.

One vision of Soviet Atomic Train. See track gauge :o :blink:

Wow!
-
They must have captured Hitler's plans for a train on super-wide track. :-\
-
This different design is marked as Soviet Atomic Train too. Track gauge looks huge, only two floors, ... but those rods connecting wheels looks steam. ???

Comparing X12 with Big Boy
(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/j340/ysi_maniac/X12_BigBoy_cmp.jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/ysi_maniac/a/3b51211d-59b0-4ebc-8283-6cac6ea80414/p/a876d46f-1804-4d81-a6d6-69d8cc82d27c)
Perhaps some of you can help me:
1. I assume X12 is an articulated locomotive. In this drawing I see just an articulation between main locomotive and the cooling car.
2. Is it possible for head piece to be supported by three bogies? Should it be another articulation? Where? ahead control area? Between control area and the reactor?
3. What is the steam generator in control area? Is it the generator to heat the train (mentioned in text)?
Thank you in advance.

Santa Fe atomic locomotive, compared with X12 design. :smiley:

I acquired a reference book on the varied trubine locomotives used by the Union Pacific. The front of those atomic-powered locomotives resembles the Steam Turbine locomotive that GE produced in the 1945-46 timeframe and which were tested by at least the Union Pacific and the Great Northern but not purchased by either or by any other tester.
