	: The reason why the ties are so high up is because the locomotive is resting on the open web steel joists of the Robert Henham bridge named after the TSME President of the time (1942 -1948) in TSME Acres.

	: The locomotive is numbered 5200. The Josslin Hudson drawings are numbered 5200. Also notice the line of rivets on the boiler firebox at the level of the mud ring.
