I see the South African inspiration! Those drivers look a little tall for a switcher, but then again it wouldn't hurt to have a turn of speed.

very nice, stable looking creature! I must say her firebox looks a bit short for her type/duties, it could be well over the second to last driver!

Why do I get the feeling that this thing can crack down the middle? Reminds me of the 0-10-2 locos of the Union.
