Ye-aah! John you were everywhere! Note you youngsters how No. 2176 is showing how articulating is done. Nice present! Thanks John.

The distinctive face of one of N&W's huge work horses. Note how the front cyclinders are larger than those of the rear cylinders. Thanks for sharing this glimpse from the past.

Both engines were Mallets, meaning that the rear cylinders first used the high pressure steam then the steam went to the front lower pressure cylinders. Also these engines were called compound articulateds.
