Photos of Al Barkdull's 0-4- while under construction. The chassis is identical with the English "Juliet".
Valve gear is fool-proof loose eccentric, a great time saver and valve events are the same at both ends, forward and reverse. The boiler is of copper 3-1/2 inch in diameter, 3 inch diameter wheels and the cylinders are 1 inch bore. She has inside steam chests making her a simple job for a first attempt.
With loose eccentrics a short movement of the loco in either direction quickly picks up the main eccentric and its ready to roll.
