POSITIONS OF FILLERS AND DRAINS 
ETC.:

The cab roof tilts up to give access to all fillers.

The  gas  tank  is  in  the  tender.  Once  the 
tank  is  charged  you  must  put  a  water  bath 
around  the  tank  to  keep  the  tank  from 
freezing.  It  keeps  the  gas  pressure  up!

The  lubricator  is  in  the  left  rear  corner  of 
the  cab.  The  lubricator  drain  is  directly 
beneath  the  lubricator.  To  drin,  un-screw 
the  drain  valve  through  about  1/2  a  trun.

The  boiler  water  filler  is  on  the  top  of  the 
steam turret on the boiler in the middle of the 
cab.  Undo  the  knurled  cap  to  fill  with  water. 
The main steam regulator valve is the wheel 
valve  on  the  rear  of  the  boiler-filling  turret.

The  direction  control  is  lever  in  the  right 
side  cab  door.  To  operate,  pull  gently  out-
wards  and  move  to  the  desired  direction. 
The control is "gated", and will therefore hold 
itself  in  the  full  forward  or  reverse  position.
