As for the "Elephant Ears" Yes, the B&O had some, (Only 2 locomotives), they were both in the B&O's Q-4 class, 2-8-2's..... #4403 and I believe the #4611. (No pictures exist online that I know of for the 4611, BUT they do exist for the 4403! Please see below:
A day when something new is learned, is always a good day !
Thank You for that picture, I went looking, and couldn't find one.
:oops: Guess I didn't dig quite deep enough.
Is that an auxiliary water car behind the tender ?

Pete,
you have B&O Power? The book on all of the B&O motive power up to 1964? Written by Alvin Staffer.
Anyway the other 2-8-2 with the Elephant Ears is in it.....Thats the only other place i know of this! I'll have to look and see what page its on and then if at all possible I'll scan that page to add the other 2-8-2 to be online of the B&O's Elephant Eared locomotives!
Good to hear you learned something! Makes me feel good to know someone learned something from something I said or knew....
Needless to say, I done my B&O homework! :mrgreen:
As for the car behind the tender, yes thats an AUX water bottle!
