Tubes - 306 - 3/8 inch diameter fire tubes. Firing - Single 5 1/2 inch dia. propane burner with six rosette burners on the top and two rows of holes around the edge.

SPECIAL FEATURES: Compressed air brakes on engine and riding car. Working sander. There are two trucks under this engine and all wheels are driven by chains. Note - the chains are not loose to allow for turning; there are constant speed universal joints built into each truck to allow for turns.

ADDITIONAL: I have hauled 11 preschool children, 11 adults and myself around the SVLS track with no problems. With beams working up and down while I run it is quite an attention getter.
