Order Pre-cut Mounts 40 x 25 mm - 40 per pack

Locomotive designer Theodore Ely revolutionized steam engine technology by re-engineering the boiler and firebox, increasing the size from 18 to 35 square feet. Skeptics at the time thought this would create an engine that was too powerful and unruly to control. However the redesign ran smoothly and greatly increased the power and speeds a locomotive was capable of attaining, and the No. 10 prototype was among the fastest locomotives of its time.
