Data from "Tank Locomotives, L & N W R", The Locomotive Magazine, Vol XIV (15 February 1908), p. 28.
This sextet had 3-ton-capacity booms mounted on the bunker end, the hook being held in a stirrup projecting up from the boiler just ahead of the bunker while the engine traveled. It was used for lifting items on the docks or in the rail yard itself.
