  Fairlie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Early Fairlie locomotives were rather unsuccessful, examples being built for the Neath and Brecon Railway and for the Queensland Railways in Australia being notably unsuccessful, in the latter case resulting in locomotives being returned to the builder.
A variation of the Fairlie that enjoyed some popularity, especially in the United States, was the single Fairlie, essentially half a double Fairlie, with one boiler, a cab at one end, and a single articulated power bogie combined with an unpowered bogie under the cab.
Fairlie's vision was limited by the limitations of the steam locomotive — its thirst for water and the unbalancing forces of its directly driving pistons – but he did successfully anticipate the form of locomotives for the future.

 Existing Fairlie Locomotives   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
He saw several problems with typical designs of the era, namely: not all of the locomotive weight was carried on the powered wheels, the need for turning at the end of a run, and the need for large radius curves because of long rigid wheelbases.
The Double Fairlie was created to overcome these problems with a double ended boiler (as illustrated by the picture of Merddin Emrys) design riding on two articulated bogies.
A Single Fairlie design was also created which produced a more conventional looking locomotive with a single ended boiler but still incorporated the articulated power bogie with a non-powered bogie to allow greater flexibility than a rigid frame design.
