Description
This is an updated drawing of an 0-4-0st a drew a while back. I made changes to the dome styles, the cab window height, the frame, and lengthened the whole loco. When I first sketched this loco it had an outside frame, but when I drew this revised version I gave it an inside frame to give it a more generic look. The brake rigging was an experiment to get a manual brake handle in the cab next to the reverser. I think the gauge can be very fluid going from 30inch to 18inch or 15inch gauge; I think that if it was 15inch gauge the cab floor in the center would have to be dropped, and the operator wouldn't be able to stand in the cab; I'm still figuring out how it would work. Nonetheless I think it would be a very balanced and powerful engine.
