The Gazette plans look good but there are several details that are not in agreement with the photos of the locomotives or with the information given in Fleming's contemporary book on narrow gauge. Among measurements, the driving wheel base and boiler diameter are wrong and the counterweight on the drivers are drawn like those on the later Baldwin engines instead of the scalloped bottomed four section weight that looks somewhat like a cresent shaped weight.
