Wow, to compare this to the larger Climax types really opens the eyes.

There was only 1 model of the 100 ton climax I believe. It had a 200 lb. boiler with 39" drivers.
Cylinders were 16 1/2 by 18 inches. I don't have t.e. handy, but I believe that it was around 44,000 or so.
The common 70 ton Climax had a 200 lb. boiler with 35" drivers. Cylinders were only 14 1/2 by 16 inches
giving a t.e. of 30,000 lbs.

Others are right, if this one had been built, it should have been a real puller.
