Steamtown USA, Bellows Falls, Vermont 1967 by Glen Fairweather Via Flickr: 'Big Boy' 4012 sitting next to ex-LSWR M7 4-4-0 tank 30053 which was acquired from the UK in 1967 - it was repatriated in 1987 and can now be seen on the Swanage Railway. The Big Boy is now on static display in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
US locos make UK locomotives look tiny, even outside of this particularly extreme example.
Only wish Alfred or Judy, one of the famous Port of Par locos, could have been in this shot.
I have seen the other to locomotives in person when I visited Steamtown though, which is neat.
