This this picture is not the exact one, but nonetheless, an 0-4-0 is darned cool - or hot depending on your point of view.
I was fortunate enough this year to be allowed learn a little on how to be a fireman and engineer on the 0-4-0 that Bob Kirtlan of Silver Bend Farms, Clarksburg, California owns and operates for weekday tours by local school children in the greater Sacramento area.
Since his steam engine was the first I ever was actually in charge of, naturally it is now my favorite.
