Description
These differed from the geared locomotives above principally in that they still use coupling rods, characteristically they have a V shaped cylinder arrangement operating on a central shaft. Some 30 are known to survive in North America and about a third are likely to be operational at any time. Elsewhere, there are several in New Zealand at Shantytown, Ferrymead Park in Christchurch and Pukemeiro.
