I've seen pictures of this (car, loco, speeder, critter, thing [pick one please]) before, but never realized the goofy wheel arrangement.

Wow, that is too cool! Cute, too. I'm glad it still exists and has been restored. Not too many steam powered inspection cars survived to modern times.
Hmm, actually NONE exist, except this one!

OK, poor choice of words.
I'm familiar with the facts that the Brits loved single driver locos. I guess that it was only the fact that grades were easy and trains were light let them get away with the arrangement.
I should have wrote "very rare in this country"--especially by the time that the "Black Diamond" was built.
Be great if someone pulled up those ones that are taking an extended bath--but it's problematical whether there is enough left to get an idea what they looked like--anything wood has to be gone--and the costs would be more that my meager budget can afford.
By the way--thanks for the links! Sites like that can provide many absorbing hours.
Goofy Herb
