These locomotives were not always fired on coal but a variety of fuel. If you look around, there is some in the picture as well.

Old veteran seems to be toiling hard in sugar belt of gangetic plains. Colling Garrat's book suggest that these were a part of BALDWIN make locos made for Imperial army during WW I. Mick could you pl. tell the year this pic was taken.

The cylinder cocks are open, but the smoke from the stack does not look grey as it is supposed to be, which indicates incomplete combustion of the coal.

Not so puny -I will post an image on Open Line to demonstrate.Of course the track was very level and the speeds slow due to the condition of the track.

Just wondering how much power can this puny lion generate? how many trailers were there behind?

Wonderful and delightful loco. 2" gauge? It looks as if it is brand new

A rare tank locomotive that also has a tender. Many thanks for sharing these lovely images.
