L P	General	Am I blind? I do not see a throttle.	2/25/2014 10:39:43 AM

Chuck Zeiler	General	The throttle is the vertical level to the left of the right window connected to a link that passes through the cab wall.	2/25/2014 10:44:49 AM

L P	General	I was kind of wondering, but I figured there would have been a racket like theReverser. Got any idea what the handle does next to it?	2/25/2014 3:13:45 PM

Chuck Zeiler	General	If you are referring to the lower right lever with the red handle, that is the reverser (Johnson bar).	2/25/2014 3:50:53 PM

L P	General	No I was refering to the handle that goes out the cab by what you told me was the throttle.	2/25/2014 7:34:48 PM

Chuck Zeiler	General	I believe that lever (with the loop shaped handle) is the sander.	2/26/2014 10:18:01 AM

L P	General	Chuck was kind enough to email me a picture of the outside of the locomotive. The lever identified as the throttle above is attached to a valve on the sand box and the handle grip is the throttle since goes to a valve on the steam dome and with pipes going down most likely to the cylinders. Thanks Chuck for clearing up confusion. :-)	2/26/2014 11:53:52 AM

Chuck Zeiler	General	Thank goodness we cleared that up. I was confused myself . Thanks LP.	2/26/2014 12:22:06 PM
