The job of loco pilots during steam days, was probably very demanding and difficult. They had no protection of any kind that is currently available for diesel and electric loco pilots. The literally 'burning' surroundings meant that they worked under very harsh conditions. Hats off to them!!

As far as i my memory helps me, i remember that the LP used to be intermittently hanging outside for better view near crossings/stations....

Beautifully restored, unlike some overdone steam engine restorations

Smoking out of chimney & even whistle blowing(Checkout steam from whistle on top of driving cab). Shooting angle makes it appear as if its on a steep gradient.
