The Raymond Loewy bodied S1 was a 6-4-4-6 beast. Sadly, it’s length and rigid frame meant it was too big for many curves. It only lasted 10 years before being scrapped.

Also, I just checked, and F. M. Whyte was still alive when this came out. I wonder if it made his head explode.

You’d like the museum of transportation in StLouis. Tons of trains, although only a few autos and 1 tug boat & 2 planes.
