Hexaplex locomotive

The Hexaplex Locomotive is a proposed/planned articulated steam locomotive with six sets of driving wheels on six separate hinged frames.
== Proposals==
There were three different proposals that were made for the Hexaplex locomotive around the world.
===First Proposal===
The First Proposal was by Union Pacific where they would have a 4-8-8-8-8-8-8-4 Locomotive, but that was never built.
===Second Proposal===
The First Proposal was by Union Pacific where they would have a 4-8-8-4-8-8-4-8-8-4 Locomotive, but that was never built either.
=== Third Proposal (By the Soviet Union)===
Because of the Quadruplex Locomotive that was built in Belgium, that quadruplex was equipped with the Franco-Crosti Boiler System, the Soviet Union were going to use the Franco-Crosti Boiler System idea to go bigger by creating a Hexaplex, which would have an insane wheel arrangement of 2-4-4-2+2-8-8-2+2-4-4-2, this was also never built much like the other two proposals in the USA.
==Why weren't they built? ==
The Reason why they weren't built at all is mainly because of building anything beyond a triplex or the Belgium Quadruplex was just too insane, it was also because going bigger wasn't a good choice and it wouldn't work and would cost far too much money to maintain, plus having more driving wheels would take even longer to produce those locomotives and way too long for the maintenance crews to maintain it, and so that's the reason why there were no hexaplex locomotives built in the world.
==Trivia==
*There isn't much Information that could be provided about this locomotive
