Data from "Four-wheeled Locomotive for the Islip Iron Co", The Locomotive Magazine, Volume XX [20] (15 September 1914), p. 123.
The LM report described this little tank as a "remarkably powerful engine" given the loading gauge limitations and maximum axle loading. To distribute the weight as evenly as possible over both axles, the builder put the water tanks well forward with the result that, said LM, "the engine rides very steadily for a four-wheeled locomotive.
