The locomotive has no bunker for fuel, are we to suppose that the fireman is to burn the presents int he first truck to raise steam ?!?!

I would question the necessity to raise steam, as there are apparently no cylinders or motion to transfer tractive power to the driving wheels; indeed, it is not clear which are the driving wheels!

 

But the lack of a bunker is not a major issue as enough coal can be stowed in that large cab for most duties.  Presumably the water is carried in a well tank.  

 

Such locomotives and rolling stock have for more than a century and a half performed unsung but nonetheless heroic duties in playrooms, nurseries, and creches all over the world; I will not hear a word against them!

They felt that provision for coal would be unnecessary weight, given that they also provided no means for the crew to get into the cab.
