It doesn't have the forney build style.

It doesn't have the forney build style. 

If you dig back far enough into its ancestral design heritage, it does.

It's a different thingy. Not the same as the last thingy. Did I get it right?


It looks like a forney that is too long.

it looks like a I.C.R.R 2-4-4 tank built back in the 1880's. you know the ones that were used on the urban lines for the sharp curves. but it does look to long.

...or a NYC elevated tank but I think it may be a shortline.

technically that is correct!
but im looking for something more specific than "different thingy"

and it is not too long..it is the exact correct length.

on the right track with "urban lines", but not ICRR.

...or a NYC elevated tank but I think it may be a shortline.

not NYC either, but also on the right track.

Nice pic of a Mason boogie!!!

Nice pic of a Mason boogie!!! 

nope!
the Mason boogie was a popular dance move of the late 1970's.
and even if you meant "Mason Bogie"..still wrong! 

although you are VERY close.

A Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn RR Mason-Fairlie (AKA Mason-Bogie)  to be exact.

I don't have a picture ready, so I will pass on posting.

I guess if you are being really pedantic you could argue it was not a Mason as it was built by ALCO (Schenectady Works), but it is a Mason Fairlie or Mason Bogie type.

Mason acquired a licemce for the Fairlie articulated locomotives from Robert Fairlie and developed the Single Fairlie design into the locomotive we all know and love. Hence Mason Fairlie is the most accurate term, even if mason Bogie is the common term.
