...or even 5th radius by looks of it.
The PRR S1 of 1939. The only loco ever to have a 6-4-4-6 wheel arrangement.

Compare size of chappie standing on the back with size of loco.

Very big, impressive yet strange locomotive! with 4 cylinders, yet each pair is only driving 4 wheels, you would think each would be controlling 6 or even 8. odd, seems an interesting prototype! Like you say, not for 1st radius!
