No, that is the Kahuku's boiler. The Climax running gear is there, but the boiler had already been sent south to Dixon Boiler Works to be used as a pattern for replacement a project that was never completed. It was always a "spare time" project, old man Dixon died and the company folded before it got completed. The concept of converting a 50 ton 2-truck Climax to 3-foot gauge was a bad idea from the start.
