St Molaga, T&C Tramway

[David Holman]

Can anyone point me in the direction of pictures of Timoleague & Courtmacsherry Tramway's 0-4-2T St Molaga, please?

Am building the Tyrconnel kit & want to add as much extra detail as possible. Only photos I have are low three quarter views of the right hand side. Am interested in knowing what the crosshead driven piston thingy was on the right hand side. Associated pipework very vague and no mention of it in the kit.

Also, who was Molaga? Google indicates the local church named after him/her [school too], with a possible link to bee keeping as well...

 

Thanks.

Some scant info available online on the saint himself.
