Virginia & Truckee RR 4-4-0 No. 22 'Inyo'

Posted by: Steve Frost on Dec 3, 2017 @ 15:12:48
Sorry, Dillon, I think you'll find that in the UK we'd had several generations of steam locomotives by 1875. Check out 'Wylam Dilly' of 1813 in the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh and 'Puffing Billy' also of 1813 in the Science Museum of London. Both old age pensioners by the time this loco was being built!

Nacional de Mexico 0-6-0ST No. 507

Posted by: Steve Frost on Nov 26, 2017 @ 15:11:21
An interesting looking loco. It looks much modified since it left the works in Leeds all those years ago. But there is still the British plate frame, inside cylinder 0-6-0 underneath it all. The cab, smokebox door and stovepipe chimney are pure North American and the cowcatcher pilot is stuck onto the British front end. An odd amalgamation of styles.
