Doesn't look anything like my engine at all. I don't see no worm gear either.  ;D

The air tank location between the frame was interesting.  Also those small tanks under the cab.

The biggest tank under the cab is plumbed like it's the reservoir for the independent (engine) brake.

A canvas roof and no clerestory on what I'm guessing is an older baggage car...

Dave,

I was thinking the same thing about the baggage car. 

Bernd, I can't see the can motor either.

Thanks for sharing Dave.
