Interesting locomotive, Tom...
I can just picture the poor fireman, one foot in the outhouse-sized rear cab, the other on the front lip of the tender, alternately throwing shovelfuls of culm into each of the loco's two firebox-doors. I'm guessing that when he gets home, he'll be looking somewhat like Buckwheat of the Lil' Rascals.
Incidently, the real Buckwheat recently changed his name to Kareem of Wheat, and was last seen pursuing a career in basketball.
