Chuffing tenders? I am not much of a steam fan but with the few real ones that I have been around, the chuffing seemed to come from somewhere further forward!

As far as US prototypes, it is especially odd as there were only two of them! It probably is the lead and has been offered in all of the normal scales: G, O, S, OO*, HO, TT, & N. Not shure about Z though. *US OO

In the first photo, it is not derailed, it is on the diverging track. In the second photo it was set that way to take advantage of the "free" spotlighting; the morning sun.

I first read that as "impaired"! I had to go back and re-read it; it now makes sense.

I can add some, maybe??

I liked the 0 scale GWR one enough to get a used one from Hatton's mostly though just to brag about it! BTW, I need to put a "&" between the G and the W as it really operates on the Greenville & Winnsboro Railroad! Now, my real preference for small locomotives is this one: Baltimore & Ohio "Docksider"; they had two for use in street trackage in the port area of Baltimore. EDIT: I will have to put the two (GWR & B&O) side-by-side one day for a comparison photo shoot.

I know about Kelvin but I think that 525º R is more impressive than 255º K for our current 66º F! 😸

Or GREEN panniers! Like this one 😇:

Not by me, it is 531° R here right now. I have always liked it since I learned about it high school physics (or chemistry) as it gives the real temperature..

I do not have to travel very far at all to see MALLARD: Just turn my head! BTW, it cost me a whole buck at a local train show!

Shades of the Scullin Disc drivers. I love then and they are the only thing that makes certain large New York Central locos palatable!! https://www.rpnation.com/gallery/nyc-mohawk.7630/full?d=1457387678

Ah, but does the Bear have a shed??

I don't know about the Romans, but I worked with a few. Oh, wait a minute..........................................

A previous cat Whitefur (original name, isn't it?) could find "comfort" most anywhere:

Raindrop changed considerably during the time after the operation; I suspect that, as the female hormones dissipated. I wish now that I had not had it done,

I am glad that I did not have any of the diet Pepsi that I am drinking in my mouth when I read that; I would have needed a new monitor!! 😾

The version that I like uses"Disapearin'" and has great train photos: I rode the "City" when I was stationed at NAS Memphis. On a Saturday, I rode from Memphis to someplace deep in Mississippi where I could wait (about an hour) for a northbound train to get me back to Memphis on Sunday. The actual train in the video is privately owned and the video appear to be taken on different trips as the consist changes in several shots.

I'm getting a headache from that!
