>Rick,
>The "Reverse Lever" changes the motion of the valve in relation to the
>motion of the piston. In addition, it controls the amount of valve travel.
>The motion has to do with Ahead & Reverse while the amount of valve travel
>has to do with the period of time that steam is admitted into the cylinder.
>As you move the Reverse Lever towards the mid position, the amount of valve
>travel is reduced thus admitting less steam into the cylinder and yes it
>does effect the power output. You need a lot of power to get a train moving
>but not much to keep it moving once in motion.
