The wheel arrangement is 0-4-0, not 0-4-0T. The tanks (likely pannier/side tanks) were removed long before the locomotive came to Loon Mountain when the locomotive was Americanized, likely for a place called Steam Village in Gilford, New Hampshire. Also, about the Peter Büscher & Sohn part of my last note: I misread the webpage. My bad.

She is very much still active today and received new tender trucks a few years ago. She was built by Orenstein & Koppel, not Peter Büscher & Sohn. The engineer gave me a cab ride last season!!!

Another Peter Büscher & Son of Münster, Germany prior to its later work at the J E Henry RR as No. 42 following work for John Louck at Monmouth, IL in 1966 and John Knox at Gilford, NH in 1970.

The railway is the J. E. Henry railway. 42 carries skiers between the two lift areas and she only runs in winter. hope this helps!
