brow-mounted, on a small steam locomotive

I don't recall many, if any "small" steam locomotives equipped with Elesco Feedwater Heater systems. The CB&Q had 2-8-2s and 4-6-2s equipped with the Elesco system, but you might not consider them "small". Can you give a better idea of what you consider "small"?

Also, that "brow-mounted" piece is just the heat exchanger bundle housing, while the big steam driven water pump is usually mounted on the Fireman's side (almost as big as a cross compound air compressor).

First Shay l have seen with one...guess no Heislers?  Indiana Harbor Belt had its well known 0-8-0, and l bashed a smaller Lionel 0-8-0, with an Elesco and flying pump, but just wondered if some shortline or yard had something smaller?  Some roads had some odd steam yard switchers. I was just mulling building a 2-4-0 or such top heavy and bristling with appliances, to pull my ridiculously long combine caboose.p
