Data from DeGolyer, Volume 17, p. 53. Works number was 12203 in December 1891.
Locomotives of nearly every kind would use Vauclain's four-cylinder compound design. The narrow gauge necessarily reduced overall dimensions so the piston valves (7"/179 mm) piston valves to supply steam to each pair of 1 HP and 1 LP cylinders measured 7" (177 mm) in diameter. The drivers were quite tall in relation to the gauge; for standard gauge (56 1/2"/1,435 mm) engines an equivalent ratio would yield a 79" (2,007 mm) driver.
