The dimensions of the chief parts of the locomotive are as follows: Length 7ft. 6in., driving wheels 12in. dia., bogies 5 1/2in. dia., cylinders 2 1/2in. bore, 4 1/2in. stroke, boiler pressure 2001bs. per square inch—as tested and passed by the Government Inspector of Machinery. The locomotive is fitted with Walschaert's valve gear and the gauge is 15in.—the standard gauge for miniature railways. The building of the locomotive was undertaken purely as a hobby, some five years of Mr. Buick's spare time being occupied in carrying his interesting work to completion.
