Data from AT&SF diagram drafted on 15 December 1930 and reproduced in E D Worley, Iron Horses of the Santa Fe (Dallas: Southwest Railroad Historical Society, 1976). p. 377.
Worley comments that this idea seems to have represented a continuing interest in Mallets that now was based on their successful 2-10-4 "Madame Queen" (Locobase 457). The enormous grate was 22 feet (6.71 m) long, just six inches shorter than the boiler tubes; its coal consumption was calculated at 142 lb/sq ft (693.3 kg/sq m) . Although the diagram doesn't explicitly say so, all four cylinders must have taken live steam because the HP/LP volume ratio would otherwise have sunk to an improbable 1.23.
NB: Superheater area and tube counts are an estimate. As the diagram shows no figures for tube counts or superheating area, Locobase feels free to make a SWAG based on the Madame Queen.
