JS side-on
Grab shot as JS 8167 backed its empty train.
A JS isn't exactly pretty, and the Sandaoling mine was't bothered about external appearance, but these were purposeful machines that did their job effectively. In fact, I prefer their looks to the SY 2-8-2.
The boiler looks long and thin but a lot of it is firebox. Note the pony truck wheels are smaller than those of the trailing truck. And that profusion of fittings and pipes; George Jackson Churchward (and his successors) would have been horrified.
