Re: Outside frame steam engines.... Why?

Outside frames allow for a bigger firebox to fit between the frame rails, making for a locomotive with more capacity. Also as narrow gauge locomotives got larger the outside frames made for a more stable locomotive because the center of gravity could be kept lower than with a large inside frame locomotive.
