I have to admit that right from the start rebuilding the ex K&K Chinese steamer to represent a New Haven steam engine was the best thing they ever did. I hope it paid well for the Valley RR!

Do the Chinese locomotives have the engineer and fireman reversed sides like they do in Europe?  If so did they move the controls to the right hand side when they rebuilt her?

One of three SYs built to US specs with engineer on right side.  Another one is in Phillipsburg, NJ (Susquehanna 142), and the third is in the Indian Ocean after the boat to the US sunk.  The other Chinese engines here (1 JS, 3 QJs) are "reversed" with the engineer on the left side.
