It's difficult to ascertain where water is stored to vaporize into steam sufficient to cause locomotion. There is some exhaust trailing the lead unit which may indicate water storage beneath the floor boards. But what;s heating the water and where is it located? If my words make me sound ignorant, I probably am because I know so little about engineering.

Thank for the comment, I believe there is a water tank at the rear of the loco, the boiler is an upright design, like those found on steam boats, power is transfered to the wheels with, i'm guessing two upright cylinders.
I did not get a great look at the loco myself when I was there, hope that helps! :-)
Cheers
