    Thank you for posting the link Ewan.

    It is interesting to see the inclined cylinders on a younger loco than Stephenson's Rocket when the 1830 version of the later had the cylinders lowered dramatically to overcome the rocking induced by the 1829 Rocket's steeply angled cylinder configuration.
