The Boston, Revere Beach & Lynn RR, believed in their Mason Bogie 2-4-4Ts.  They bought a number from Mason between 1882 and 1887.  they then obtained blueprints and patterns and continued to have the same engine built by three other manufacturers, the last in 1914.  

Compare the above photos.  The engines are virtually identical even though built by different manufacturers.
