Awesome, but they need to install a real coal fired boiler to give an authentic demo for the folks..... Get her moving in the right direction, and give the guy the feeling he earned his pay :))

I've been volunteering on the S.S. Lane Victory for about 3 years. The engine is being driven by an electric motor chained/geared to the crankshaft. I was told the motor is from an escalator. The actual motor/controller is in the hold underneath the engine.
There are no pistons in the chambers as they are on the floor leaning against the backside of the engine. The engine is reversible. It's pretty cool to see all the rods and valve gear moving.

I came to this site from another that said this engine is being motor driven. I'm sure the controls now operate a frequency drive to control speed and direction. As to it's direction of rotation, yes, it is what is called 'running under' , and would be incorrect if driven by the pistons, causing the crossheads to slap. However, being driven by a motor, and the crank is actually driving the pistons, everything is reversed. I was a boilerman in the Navy.

The engine seems to respond to his reverse and throttle changes though, so it could be running under steam although everything must be awful tight to have no visible or audible leaks or drips.
The gear at the LP end is part of the engine, it's the jacking gear used to hold and rotate the crank manually while doing repairs.

Yep, is is running astern. But it looks like a chain drive on the L.P. end, in which case it is not under its own power. Besides, there is no chugging, so I'm sure that's the case. If the crank is driving the pistons then rotating in this direction the crosshead thrust is on the ahead guides.
