This has not been done on the GreatCentral Railway for ninciccn years, theprevious outside cylinder engines beingthe well-known twelve single-driver ex-presses designed and built by the late Sacre, originally numbered 309and 500-510.

But as regardstheir cylinders, there is almost the widestpossible difference. Mr. Worsdells loco-motive has 20-inch cylinders with 26-inchpiston stroke.
