How to run a Steam Locomotive

[Tokkyu40]

I found a website with scans of the old US Steel training manual on operating the narrow gauge locomotives in the smelters.

The one with the blue cover. Interesting reading.

I may save that, since if all goes well, I will be running steam locomotives at Lakeside next year

Another good read is Locomotive Catechism by Robert Grimshaw. Worth it for the archaic English if nothing else...

The physical version I have is from the late 1920s.

Edit: I found this thread while searching for "steam", and neglected to check the date of the last post before replying... talk about bringing back the dead.
