I think the ATSF actually made and ran some similar ones to those described above.

ATSF is the only railroad I know of to try jointed boilers. Baldwin made the ball jointed boiler locomotives and accordion fold boiler locomotives for ATSF. There's no record of whether the accordion boiler could be persuaded to play musical notes during its operation.

Your locomotive derailing all the time on poorly maintained industrial track? Get it back on the rails in a jiffy with the Benda Locomotive Bootstrap Crane accessory.

Do engines, such as your "Bootstrap", derail more easily since they don't have front pilot wheels?

I like it. I wonder if the chain drive is on both sides with the other side going to the front driver.
