Oh I see that an actual steam engine. How do you control the throttle? What fuel does it use?

The Frank S has a valve in the cab to allow the steam to the cylinders and a forward/reverse lever for direction. It runs on butane. It can also be converted to remote control operation. I've had a few over the years and they are remarkable little machines, and can be had for what I consider a good price considering they are made by Aster. The first one I had needed a complete rebuild as the steam cylinders were completely frozen. I had to get some bits from Aster in Japan and they were very helpful. This review has been around forever but it's a good read for anyone interested: https://www.sidestreet.info/locos/loco60.html
