I suppose the nearest thing we had in the UK was the LNER's Class U1 Beyer-Garratt. Its 180 tons compared with Big Boy's 350 (or thereabouts) would be about equivalent on the smaller British loading gauge. Although only one was built, it wasn't particularly successful, and was scrapped in 1955. New build like Tornado? No chance.
