Heisler (geared) Locomotive. The locomotive burns oil.
There is a driveline centered under the boiler that runs from the front axle group, to the rear axle group.
The two cylinders are angled to attach to the driveline. 17 images.

5. Backing up with cylinder cocks open. The cylinder cocks allow any water in the cylinders to be blown out. Preventing possible cylinder damage.

6. Filling up the oil tank on the tender.

7. Some of the Fireman’s controls with labels. The atomizer controls the steam output at the burner. The blower, blows steam up the smokestack to create a draft in the firebox when the locomotive is standing still.

.
10. The vertical control is the reverse bar (also, called Johnson bar). This controls the locomotive movement forward or backward. The bar appears to be in the “neutral” position. Also controls how long the steam valve is open.

11. Upper left corner is a sight glass for the water. The upper brass handle is for the locomotive brakes. The lower brass handle is for the train brakes.

12. These three valves are called the tri cocks. When the sight glass is not working, the engineer can use the valves to determine what the water level is in the boiler.

13. Hydro static lubricator (I think that is the correct name). Controls the amount of oil used to lubricate each cylinder and the air pump.

14. Cab ride. I do this every time I get a chance.

16. Fireman making some adjustments. He watches the stack for smoke and makes adjustments. For the night runs, he has to rely watching the glow from the firebox.

I can tell you that sitting next to the boiler even with the insulation and jacketing, that it gets hot from the radiant heat from the boiler.
