It has been quite a few years since I visited, but I believe the double Fairlie locomotives on the Ffestiniog Railway in Wales have fireholes in the side of the boiler. Two fireholes, actually, one for each boiler. They are side-by-side so the fireman can load both without moving from his position.

Quote from: cnr6400Just fyi there were / are a couple of real steam locomotives classed as 0-3-0, one used on a monorail system called "Lartigue" in Ireland, and also a similar system in India. Some pics are available in Google if you search for "0-3-0 locomotive".
I see you already found the pic of "Tippy" the 0-2-0...
