Locomotive, age 140, to be restored

[Super]

My first impression was that it resembled the Plarail toy Benkei and Yoshitsune trains more that the actual real train they were modeled after. Sort of a backwards resemblance. Short and stubby like the Plarails although the absence of a cow catcher may be giving me that feeling. I did a little more digging especially of what the Tender would look like....I was surprised to see that the original Tender had a wooden deck with a riveted steel container mounted atop that.

Here is a question....what is the purpose, engineering wise, for the overly large exaggerated funnels on some trains like this one whereas others have different shapes?

They have a FaceBook page with lots of pictures from the engines history, very interesting. https://www.facebook.com/pg/Daniel-B-Har...e_internal
