Re: KItson-Meyer Desgin

Well neither actually. The 'engines' were trucks so pivoted like a modern diesel. Here is the wiki page.

The iconic ones were made for Saxon NG.
Wikipedia page.

Two designs were made in the US that I know of. Baldwin made one and Vulcan made the duplexes. These were more in the Kitson Style.
I have a post here with my photos. First post on page 2.

Also Bagnell made some. One of which ended up in Colorado. Here is the wiki.

Hope this helps,
