  • It looks as though the 1218 has a Wooten firebox. 

  • @maxm2317 It is just decorative skirting on the firebox. The Class A was designed to burn soft coal from the start. Wooten fireboxes are a bad design for bituminous coal, which is why the Reading 4-8-4s (rebuilds from older 2-8-0s that had Wooten fireboxes) didn't have the horsepower of other 4-8-4s that had fireboxes designed to burn high quality bituminous from the start.

  • those are nice passenger cars
