We only have a picture of the very first patent, and not the patent that this iron was made from. Hope this helps in your understanding of the differences between the drawing and the actual photos of the iron. The iron has 2 patent dates on it, one of 1888 and 1889.

Look at the missing two smoke/steam stacks, missing front grate, missing two windows, difference in wheels. Many odd changes beyond the handle. The locomotive body looks like a cannon barrel. The details do not look correct. Am I the only one that has noticed the extreme difference between patent and item?
