This engine, located today in the Henry Ford Museum, was created for the Tatham Brothers Lead Works in Philadelphia by Novel Works.
Ironically, while the engine is beautiful and one of the finest examples of ornamentation on an engine, it was never intended to be displayed in public view.

I bought a small box of slides while in north Georgia in an estate/antique shop for $1.
19 slides total, 3 different types of film, all seemingly of the same plant. The only thing on the box besides the price is "Plant 59"
I've deducted from the slides that this is all from Republic Engine Corp. I'm assuming, from the box that they were all shot in 1959. And that the day the photographer came to shoot, one of the bosses brought his kids to work. Not much has come from google searches on the plant thus far.
One thing that's really interesting to me is how the different films have survived over the past 60 years. In the box are 10 Ektachrome, 8 Anscochrome, and 1 Kodachrome. To the eye the Kodachrome seems to be the least scratched and faded, where as the Anscochrome is the most scratched and faded over time. Ektachrome sits right in the middle.
It goes to show, you should shoot at least decent film if you want it to last 60 years or more.

the engine is always at the bottom to act as a backstop in case of failure but when descending the pistons free run, full of air, so as it compresses it acts to slow the train. The Abt cog system (the double offset cogs in the centre) hold the loco on the track and provide resistance/traction and can also be braked if needed. Also note the angle of the boiler. Called the kneeling cow (derived from the cow) on a slope, the boiler is level so does not have dry spots. The aim is to maintain the track at that angle so the engine is matched to the track and won't run on a different railway of a different slope. The flatter bits of track allow for passengers to get on/off if needed.
