My proposal for President Vladimir Putin

After attending the Duluth Depot museum's inaugural Festival of Steam that happened on July 19-21, I thought that the Russian Federation should have the largest and most powerful operating steam locomotive.  Putin’s locomotive builders should base this locomotive on the Mallet-type, 2-8-8-8-4 "Triplex", with two super efficient boilers, one in the engine and another in a trailer car where the tender car normally is, to keep high pressure in all six cylinders. This locomotive’s fuel oil and water would be stored in two separate tender cars.  Vladimir Putin would be the name for this engine and this type of engine.
