The steam chest is usually narrower than the cylinders.

mrennie wrote:One other piece of information: this loco has quite small cylinders, only 20" x 24", which might account for the design with the overhanging steam chests. It also has square steam chests (where the slide valves are), unlike the more common design of a cylindrical steam chest right on top of the main cylinders.

I apologise profusely ... you're right about the domes. I think I must have been looking at the inside dimensions to get the widths. They are indeed too narrow! I'm really glad you insisted on that. I'll correct it this evening.
No hard feelings I hope.
Regards
Mike
