It's not a 2-4-0, it's a 2-8-0!You have to count the wheels on both sides of the engine. I believe that 2-8-0's were called Consolidations or Consols. Unusual engine, the tender wheels are almost as big as the drivers. |

I'm still not sure what the deal is even with the marker, it looks like a toy. Also, I'd mention where I found this "exhibit", but the town consists of only a yellow flashing light, a gas station next door, and then a leaving the town sign and that's all. Very strange place. Gulf Hammock "Patented Aug 24, 1897"   And if you're curious to what that park looks like:   That's it for that exhibit! |

Both are using steam right?I've seen this same thing mentioned on some other engines that I can't remember right now. I guess all the real old stuff was originally wood burning. |

A steam engine could produce steam by burning either wood or by burning coal. It depends whether the steam engine in question is set up to burn wood, coal or both.#3 West End Jeff |

Two for the first truck...four for reciprocation...zero for trailing.Obviously, this motor is very dangerous in static because it is fenced in. pics don't show tender...coal or bunker oil. |
