On the footplate. Small, but everything you need is there.

One of the original 'Minimum Gauge' railway locos to survive. Built for the Duke of Westminster's estate at Eaton Hall, Cheshire at Duffield Bank by Sir Arthur Heywood. Little of 'Katie' beyond the frames survived, but she's back, as the photos show.

Side view showing the valve gear somewhat like Joy gear.
