Here it is i decided to post my version of a NSWGR AD-60 class locomotive.

The main smoke effect control lever for the smokestack is inside the firebox you have to get right up to the entrance and drop into the lever to control the firebox door (under the trap door) and look into the firebox to see it.

some info:

The AD-60 class were Beyer-Garrett patent articulated four-cylinder, simple, non-condensing, coal-fired super heated, 4-8-4+4-8-4 heavy goods steam locomotives built by Beyer, Peacock and Company for the New South Wales Government Railways in Australia.

This was the only type of Garrett locomotive to operate on the New South Wales Government Railways. Designed to a light axle load of only 16 long tons (16.3 t; 17.9 short tons), they were intended for hauling feeder branch-line services to the main lines where heavier main-line locomotives could continue with the load.

In 1949 twenty-five were initially ordered from Beyer, Peacock and Company, followed by a further twenty-five. Following a change of policy in favour of diesel traction, negotiations were entered into, in order to cancel the last part of the order. Forty-two complete locomotives were delivered, together with spare parts equating to approximately five further locomotives. The five sets of parts did not include engine unit frames. The cancellation contract stipulated that the NSWGR could not assemble the spare parts into complete locomotives without paying substantial royalties to Beyer- Peacock. The last three locomotives were cancelled completely and the assembly positions at the Gorton Works of Beyer - Peacock were sold to the South African Railways.

The locomotives were delivered in their five major component pieces: Front engine, rear engine, boiler-cab, rear bunker and front water tank. These five sub assemblies were built into a complete locomotive in NSW.

Locomotive 6002 was the first to enter service in July 1952 with the last, 6040 delivered on 02 January 1957.The locomotives were the most powerful to operate in Australia. Parts of 6002 are today incorporated into the currently operational 6029.
