Fictional British 0-4-0

This inside cylindered 0-4-0 is based upon the locomotives of the Furness Railway.

These 0-4-0s were the workhorses of the mid 19th century in England, and could be found anywhere from the Isle of Weight to the tip top of Scotland. With small drive wheels set in-front of the firebox, these locos represent a compact version of the Long-Boiler design. Their small driving wheels do not make them the fastest engines, but they are strong for their size, capable of pulling a decent number of wagons and coaches.

At the time, inside cylinders were preferred for two reasons. Mainly, the Victorians didn't wish to see any 'ugly' working parts, so they were tucked away. There was a practical aspect too, having the cylinders directly under the smokebox helped keep the cylinders warm and reduce heat-loss and maximised efficiency. This helped these small engines achieve the speeds they did, and help with their long lifespan.

The last 0-4-0 was built for the mainline in the late 1890s, however some kept in service well into the 1930s.
