	Balanced Locomotives.
		One of the problems with the conventional type of steam locomotive is the presence of forces caused by the pistons, piston-rods, crossheads etc moving back and forth.
		As these masses are accelerated and decelerated, the reaction forces cause the locomotive to also accelerate and decelerate by a much smaller amount; it is still enough to make the riding rough and uncomfortable.
		This locomotive also had two cylinders on each side, but mounted beside each other, a solution that was probably made possible by the larger American loading gauge.
