I was at the interviews recently and nobody asked about engines in that kind of detail. However there is no harm in knowing it I guess.

To add to the list:
The A340-600 has the Trent 556 - 56,000 lbs thrust.
The 747-400 has (I think although this is sketchy) the RB211-524H-T at 60600lbs thrust, although some are down-rated to the RB211-524G-T at 58000lbs thrust. Its all on the rolls website which refers to the newer RB211s as the -524G/H-T, these are the ones with the Trent high pressure system. Also most of it is right here on pprune.
Ciao.

I believe it will be powered by GEnx-2B67 giving about 66,500 lb of thrust.
