Even with having this amount of detail on display people still can't get the parts of the locomotive right. I have a book that has a cutaway(which I read extensively when I bought it in the 90's), and of course forgot mostly everything. I did pop a visit up to Steamtown and the main problem there is that there is so much to see and hard to do in one day. I'll have to have a more extensive visit in the future, but I do agree having the cutaway of the components as well as the steam valve model to explain how it all works should help people of all ages understand and hopefully get the parts right.
How many times have we seen someone post "boiler front" which Lionel also said when talking about the smoke box door?
