The engines are simple, with cylin-ders 21x26 ins., and they have wheels. The boiler pressure is200 lbs., and the calculated tractive ef-fort, as given by the builders, is 28,250lbs. The total weight is given as 203,-500 lbs., of which rests on thedrivers. All the wheels are flanged andthe springs are all overhung and con-nected by equalizers made of cast steel,which are placed between the upper andlower frame bars. The n;ain valves are have a hook-like section and grasp theraised, rounded ends of the drivingsiirings. The journals of the carryinguhetls iiiiilcr the cab arc outside andmeasure 8.\i4 ins.
