The following parts are exactly like my engine: smoke box door,
hinge in smoke-stack, stack hanger on top of the steam dome,
governor and oil pump, main steam valve, bracket on side of boiler
for extension rod for main steam valve, timber on side of boiler
for hind wheels, brackets on side of boiler for these timbers,
drain cocks, steam gauge and whistle, injector and water line to
boiler, tongue and brace from front axle to bottom of the barrel,
exhaust line cylinder and fly wheels..
My engine has the hand brake which this engine does not have and
my opinion is that you got your pictures mixed. I could be mistaken
in this picture as this engine and boiler do not look that old.
See picture of my engine. The state of New York still allows me

painted and the engine covered with a tarp.
