  4. Wait for pressure to build to around 2 at
  5. Turn the Blower off
  6. Open the Cylinder ♥♥♥♥♥* (decorative/realistic reasons only, use every time you try to move the loco from a halt)
  7. Apply the Regulator (using the A/D axis on the Engineer Seat)
  8. Once you start moving slowly, close the Cylinder ♥♥♥♥♥.

* pardon the censorship, but that is how they are called.

Brakes are used by the A/D axis on the Engineer Seat – they will only apply once Regulator has been reduced to 0 (pressing D).

History

PKP class Pm36 was a 1937 experimental class of Polish State Railways’ express steam engines. Only two vehicles were produced: the streamlined Pm36-1 and Pm36-2, without the streamlining. Only Piękna Helena would survive to modern day and is still operational. The 4-6-2 engine was capable of up to 130 kph with short of 1800 HP.
