This is a real steam locomotive, right? Not some imitation. So where the hell doest it store the coal? No tender, nothing, no coal visible anywhere.

@jardabc Yes it is a real steam locomotive! The coal (not huge volume) is stored within the cab. You can read more about the loco via the links provided in the video details.

WD40? Lol. My son loves this but the squeaking is a bit loud.

@jardabc Coal is stored in small bunkers in front of the driver and fireman each side of the firebox like most Andrew Barclays . Its done like that because their is very little room in the cab, certainly not enough to swing a shovel from a tender or bunker at the rear of the engine. I should know. Thats me driving at 5:02 . You can see the bunker from that angle.
