Thought this photo might be of interest here. Beebe River No 5 is stored at Clark's Trading Post in N. Woodstock, NH. More photos at the link below.

This builder's photo raises a question. How were geared locomotives moved from the factory to the buyer? Clearly for the small ones a flatcar would do. But for the bigger ones? Could they be moved dead in train at somewhere normal speed by disconnecting the drive shafts?
