Oil Fired Steam Engines

I have TRS2004. Does anyone know where I can get a really good oil fired steam locomotive? (American) I want something with really realistic controls, preferably a Reader RR 2-6-2. If not, where can I get some really really good realistic steam locomotives with a cab view and a lot of operational functions?
Your reply is greatly appreciated.
Thanks-Matt
 
If you looking for burner controls for oil firing - I don't think you'll find anything. The tender might look it carries oil, the product you load might say fuel oil and the backpate - if you're real lucky - might have some burner controls but you still have to shovel fuel in one shovel at a time.

I don't know of any steamers in Trainz with functioning oil burner controls that control the fire. It would be possible to do something within limits. I wrote a cab script that automates the shoveling and it can be set up to just transfer fuel to the firebox without any sound or animantions - a simplified attempt at oil fired. With some modifications it could work with a cab modeled burner control to adjust the time interval used between "shovels". But to date I don't think anyone has modified the script or developed their own to do something like this.
