That's the neat thing about this little locomotive. It's practically a wheeled anvil, or a steam-powered battering ram. The little tender it's pictured with looks almost comical. That locomotive might not be fast or flashy but it wants for nothing in terms of personality.

I wonder how tight a curve it could manage.
