It sure was we had loads of them D's or Duck 8's or super D's call them what you will
you had to know how to fire them,as they had a flat firegrate,each one was so different,and a lot we had had problems with keeping steam up, they also leaked steam from every joint possible,in the winter sometimes it was difficult to see past the front end
but one thing about them they would keep on going no matter how low the steam pressure got.....they were also ugly looking brutes of course
