Hi,
I am presently writing the description part for a locomotive's config file. Here I ran into a problem. What is the english/american term for one of those small steam shunters which had in addition a steam crane mounted (generally astride the boiler or the cab)? These locos were quite popular with industrial facilities at the begin of the last century until they fell out of favour. Without their crane some of them survived as shunters into the 1960s.
Cheers,
Konni
