Wolf359 railandsail rrinker In the sense that it's working alongside a dock... but that's not the same loco.Cab is longer with no fuel bunker behind it Perhaps in that colder climate up in Maine, they enclosed the fuel bunker within the extended cab? I think this is indeed the case. Because if you zoom in close on the photo, you can see that the loco has a smokestack with smoke coming out of it, and the loco also has cylinders with side rods on the wheels. I think it's probably an oil-burner with a bunker embeded in the rear cab wall.

How about an alternative drive system arrangement for these docksiders,...motor and gears??
on another subject thread,...http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/88/t/189515.aspx
I'm wondering if one of these motorized trucks might make a kitbash drive for these small docksider locos,...afterall it appears they are quite compact, and often have BOTH axles powered?? http://arumo.a.la9.jp/r0123.htm ....

Interesting new Plan Consideration

Or it could be a fireless 0-4-0.. The crew would fill the saddle tanks with steam from a boiler house or steam stand.

Here you go BigJim, hope it comes out OK
Brian,I am curious as to what the caption said about the picture with the subs?

In the sense that it's working alongside a dock... but that's not the same loco.Cab is longer with no fuel bunker behind it, Boiler/water tank is much smaller diameter, among other noticeable differences with the C-16.

0-4-0 in Naval yard in Maine
Having been associated with the Navy in my past, I still get several publications of theirs. This photo of a small steam switcher attending a drydocked submarine in the 2020 Feb issue of the Naval Institute Proceedings caught my attention,...appears to be a 'docksider'....
