Locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . the original compounds,Nos. 2121-2122, has been such that themain features of the design have been ad-hered to in each succeeding class that has Notwithstanding this increase of boilercapacity, which contributes so largely tothe splendid steaming qualities of theseengines on long, rising gradients, thedead weight of the engine, empty, hasonly been augmented by tons; and onthis score, these Northern engines stillremain remarkably light, relatively totheir maximum power. For long-distance runs, a more ex-tended smokebox has been advantage-ously introduced, its inside measure- without necessity for takingwater. Although the new engines have onlybeen in service for a few months, andtherefore still under trial, the results ap-pear to be highly satisfactory, and reflectto the initiative ability of M. du Bous-quet, for maintaining his motive powerUpon a level with the most approvedpractice of the day. On curvemovement of the tender is said to be re-markably easy, and it is very probable.
