J 602 booster engine

[NW Modeling List]

Trailing truck boosters never involved side rods. The only visible difference would be the steam line to the booster and the exhaust line from it, and it is possible that the J's streamlining hid them. However, as far as photos are concerned, the booster was removed fairly early, so later photos of 602 would show no difference.

  From any photos I have seen of J #602, I cannot see any visible evidence of the booster that was part of the locomotive's trailing truck as built (to my admittedly untrained and aging eyes).  I'm guessing that since there don't appear to be any external side rods that only the rear most axle was powered.

For modeling purposes, was there anything visible on 602 with regard to the booster that I could effectively represent in HO scale on my model of that locomotive?

Sincere thanks,
