Mr. Bane's sharing of the SVRy's first No. 2, a Brooks loco, jogged a memory. In Lew Lathrop's Little Engines and Big Men there is a mention of a C&S Brooks Mogul as a "Cold Water Brooks."

Anybody out there know what he was talking about? Don't know if he was referring to a particular troublesome engine or a characteristic of the builder's product or??? Thoughts?

Ps: Thanks Jim for posting so many great historical photos from the collection!
