Ah. I see you have a reversing lever in this engine's cab. Unlike reversing screw handles, they were not commonly found on express engines but they were somewhat more convenient to operate I can imagine, even though they might have been less flexible to alter.Β

Almost every express locomotive here in america had a reversing lever, the difference was it was usually a smaller quadrant hooked to a power reversing cylinder. Β In Kenya, this practice was also common. Β The rest of the world, be it with power assisted reverse or otherwise, such as Britain, India, Pakistan, Russia, even Canada (and most of the other nations) Β Used screws.

I see. Well, I had read in the first place of the reversing screw being more common from a British published railway source, hence the acclamation. Quite fascinating. Reversing levers though are not quite as negotiable in terms of cutoff as screws are they?Β

the more notches you have the better, but nothing beats a screw handle with an indicator for precision and ease of operating. Β

Exactly concerning the lever I agree. Β I've never known of indicators for reversers actually.Β
