| location: |
A black and gold Vauclain Compound locomotive in gauge 1, running number "2350", made by Carette in around 1912. It's on the second shelf of the Classic Locomotives display in Arch Three.
Samuel M. Vauclain (1856-1940) patented his improved compound valve system in 1889. It was effectively made redundant by the use of "superheaters" in later locomotives.
