I only collect Milwaukee Road trains and several years ago on this forum, I asked if anyone knew the whereabouts of the huge Milwaukee Road BiPolar locomotive made by Bill Crippen. Nobody did.
Arno told me he knew where it was but died before he could tell me. Hopefully by now someone else on this forum also knows where it is and can tell me. If you do, HELP!

Bob: Very impressive! Was this engine in 3/8 scale actually larger than the MTH version of the Brute?
I suppose it was fully articulated if it could negotiate 072 curves?

It very well could have been larger, but to be honest I don't know, which is one of the reasons I want to track it down and ideally add it to my collection.

I own an LCCA all-black "GOLIATH" (Brute), as well as a massive Liberty Lines BiPolar, and two MTH/Lionel Super 381 BiPolars (tri-color and UP liveries) and would really like to compare the size of those BiPolars against Bill Crippen's.
LCCA's GOLIATH:
Liberty Lines BiPolar:
MTH/Lionel Super 381 BiPolar:
Bill Crippen's BiPolar:
So if anyone knows where Bill Crippen's BiPolar is located, please let me know.
