Hubert, the "Ugly Locomotive" is for 7-1/2" track
gauge, which is the only size around here, and has
vertical oscillating cylinders. It is an 0-6-0, Bore
is 1.625" and Stroke is 3.0" , the drivers are 5.00"
dia. and its weight is fast approaching the "Hernia
level". I would be glad to send you a photo, but my
Scanner is "busted"--the plastic gears have stripped
out in the mechanism.
