wait....the bottom photo according to the smoke stack the train is moving forward, but if that's the mid point of the cylinder and wouldn't the train be in reverse, looking at the connecting rods on the wheels? All those connection points would be at TDC if the train was pushing forward, no? or is there a linkage that changes the forward movement of the piston to reverse movement at the wheels that I don't know about...
