I have enjoyed sitting in the engineer seat of the 4006 and leaning out the window with my striped Key cap on.  It was interesting to open the firebox doors and see how truly big that firebox is.  It's a good bit bigger than the fireboxes I encountered on the SOU 4501 and 630.

I stopped by the MOT one afternoon years ago to check on something on 1522. While I was there the sky turned very dark and the tornado sirens went off.  I got up in 4006's cab and was ready to cllimb into the firebox if it got to that point.  I can't imagine a tornado doing anything to that beast.
