We certainly feel very proud of thismachine, and, as I said before, exceptingthe two main features, that of compound-ing the engine and the change in the boil-ers, our patterns for most every part areapplicable both to our G-4 and G-5 con-solidation engines. The following are the principal dimen-sions of the engine: Type, consolidation. Wheel base, driving, 15 feet 8 inches. Wheel base, total engine and tender, 48feet 2 inches.
