Control Layout
Control layout is shown above with the cab removed to provide clarity. All controls are readily accessible from the rear of
the cab with the tender connected, and the Throttle, Blower Valve and Axle Pump Bypass Valves all project outside of the
cab within easy reach.
The Firebox Door is easily opened using the corner of the shovel or the hook end of the Fire Pick. Il also runs cool enough
to be opened and closed by hand. The door has two small air holes in it that allow the operator to see the intensity of the
fire.
The water gauge and pressure gauge are easily visible through the left side window, and the water gauge is clearly
marked with a red line showing the CRITICAL LOW WATER LEVEL POINT. The LOW WATER LINE also lines up with an
imaginary horizontal line passing across the top of the Blower Pipe where it enters the back of the boiler.
