If I'm not mistakened didn't the Baltimore and Ohio railroad have a 4-4-6-2 briefly as well? They were classified as MK-1. I can't find much info on them but apparently it was rebuilt from a 2-6-6-2. It was not successful in passenger service and was rebuilt back into a 2-6-6-2 shortly after. "Shadow6461 (talk) 22:56, 26 January 2018 (UTC)"[reply]

That's right. I know it from one of my (German) books, confirmed with a photo of this steam engine. Vockrodt; Stefan: Big Steam. Höhepunkte des amerikanischen Dampflokomotivbaus im 20. Jahrhundert, DGEG Medien, Hövelhof 2014, ISBN 978-3-937189-76-5, p. 81 --Universal-Interessierter^de (talk (de)) 13:17, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And the ATSF 1300 were also not the only passenger mallet compunds, in Russia 112 2-4-4-0 passenger Mallet Compunds of the Class І (I) (de:Russische Baureihe І) were built between 1903 und 1909 und the last examples were used until the 1950s. --Universal-Interessierter^de (talk (de)) 13:28, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All of the above would be good bases for inclusion on this page or on the relevant pages for their Whyte notation wheel arrangement, or even free-standing pages of their own. Please do!

The German-language page about the Russian 2-4-4-0 auto-translates into English very nicely - write an English edition, perhaps? Kokopelli-UK (talk) 13:04, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
