The Soviet’s attempted to one-up UP’s 9000s to their advantage and failed spectacularly| The AA-20

Previously Dead on Arrival, we, or at least I roasted the Great Western Railway's only 4-6-2 Pacific, the Great Bear. I won't spoil the episode so I put an annotation to it at the end of the video for you to check out also.

In this episode of Dead on Arrival, meet the only steam locomotive in the world with 14 coupled driving wheels, the AA-20. Arguably Russia's biggest engineering flop in the railroad industry.
Also find out why the AA-20 didn't work, while the locomotives it was copied from did.

And don't ask me to build this locomotive out of Lego. A. it sucked, and B, I don't like it, though I don't hate it as much as the A2/2s, the Great Bear, nor the PRR S1 and Q1.
