TINY build

[ge_rik]

Speaking of 'Tiny', her boiler eventually ended up on the Furzebrook Tramway's 2ft 8" gauge Manning Wardle 'Tertius'

Here's a Flickr photo of said loco with the original boiler and a comparison photo of it with the new boiler:

I prefer the first version - in the second incarnation, the boiler looks to be mounted unnecessarily higher. I wonder why. Something to do with steaming??
BTW, the spectacles in TERTIUS looks to be even higher than TINY's

Tiny being 3ft 9" and inside frame had a wider firebox that couldn't fit, so it had to sit on top of Tertius' frames. The height is an illusion, probably was ok based on this photo of an enthusiast finding it in the 60s as a young lad
