I hope no one is bothered that I opened both the Diner and Show Me Something in September. Judging by forum traffic, I might have the only connection right now.
This was the previous request:
This little 0-4-0 saddle tank steam engine is the smallest locomotive on the STRATTON AND GILLETTE roster:
Please show me another of your smallest locomotives.
My smallest Steamer, I think[^o)]. The tiny ones are hard to keep track of. Sometimes I can blow their whistle to find them. PRR #2790, 0-6-0 dropping of a load of coal at Oly’s coal yard.
This one was originally a Santa Fe locomotive, with a huge eight-axle tender. I shortened the tender, then used part of a covered hopper to change it into a centipede-type. The centipede bed used the cut-up and re-assembled original sideframes, with a homemade overlay of styrene, traced from a photo ad in MR for a brass Niagara…
It went to a friend in Wisconsin some years ago.

Another Niagara, please, or perhaps a Mexican Nigara
