Gus:
I just dug out my MR Cyclopedia and looked through the 2-8-2 section.
If this is your PRR L1: there's a picture and drawing in the book. The cylinders look round on the bottom and that thingy behind the stack does not exist.
The were 2-8-2s on other roads that had that thingy, though.
I think the thingy may be a check valve for the water delivery system.
Do you need plans? I could copy the page in the Cyclopedia for you.
