Peckett


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 10381)

Data from "Narrow Gauge Tank Locomotive," The Locomotive Magazine, Vol IX (3 October 1903), p. 197.

The author doesn't tell us which 3-ft gauge line needed this locomotive. Locobase suspects it was a catalogue engine. Its tiny wheelbase lurked under a much longer frame. A very short capped stack, no dome to speak of (more of a manhole), side tanks spanning the length from front coupled axle to footplate, outside cylinders driving on the rear axle -- these were some of the noticeable feature.

NB: The direct heating surface (including the firebox heating surface) is an estimate calculated by subtracting the calculated tube heating surface from the reported total evaporative heating surface.
