Bridgton 7 and 8 look like they ought to be 3 ft. gauge locos, not 2-footers. I believe the image you are referring to is the one with 7 and 9 side-by-side. The 9 looks tall and slim like a 2-footer, with a high center of gravity, and does indeed look like she might topple over. The 7, on the other hand, is so wide that she actually looks stable enough. She just looks wayyy too wide for those tiny rails.
It was really a blast having all of these engines up at the WW&F. I hope we can do something like this again periodically. Imagine the fun we could have if 4 and 8 were also operable!
