"No, I said the LITTLE red dial!" Amazing view of 40s technology...would be great to see this beast on the tracks again, wouldn't it?
Great shot!

Just show me the "key ignition" and we'll be running in no time flat, lol! But seriously, great photo showing a complex machine.

That would be one hell of chore to work as a fireman on that. Even with a stoker, I imagine that is probably one of the most difficult engines to fire.

From what I've read, they were actually easy to fire. UP had inexperienced crews on them sometimes during WWII because the regular crews had been drafted.
