But they could be a pair of single lungers...</p> <p>The T-1s certainly did. Here is a pretty thorough look at the 2100:</p> <p><a href="http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/philadelphia-reading-4-8-4-northern-type-locomotive-2100-very-cool.765929/">http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/philadelphia-reading-4-8-4-northern-type-locomotive-2100-very-cool.765929/</a></p> <p>Photo 4 shows the shield removed and a pair of Westinghouse 8½" 150 cross-compound compressors flanking the smokebox.</p> <p>Much cleaner shots of the G-3 here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/rdg212s.jpg">http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/rdg212s.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/rdg213sa.jpg">http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/rdg213sa.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/rdg215s.jpg">http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/rdg215s.jpg</a></p> <p>I can not find definitive information on the compressor arrangement of the G-3s. Interesting...</p> <p>Regards, Ed</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>On the photos of the 213 and 215 it appears to be the same valve component as on the cross-compound air compressor photo that Ed posted earlier.  Just an observation.</p>
