A typical steam locomotive from the driver's viewpoint showing the various valves and other controls. This boiler is known as a marine type because they are common on ships. The whole of the firebox can be removed for cleaning.

The loco is a 'Sweet Pea' class and it has a saddle tank over the top of the boiler for its water supply.
