Big locomotives go with less rev, small loco's more rev. Most times I will end up, on the Challenger as example because each locomotive is totally different, with about 30% reverser and 40 to 50% regulator. Keep my eye on the steam generation and usage, you want more generation than usage, so adjust the rev and reg up and down.
As speed increases, back off of BOTH rev and reg (yes, watch the speeding limit!) Now I'm out on the mainline and I want speed. But, reverser (rev) is totally different as is regulator (reg). I use Expert controls and Automatic fireman (some guys like manual firedude, tho) Brakes are brakes so that's easy. Takes a lot of trial and error to get used to driving. Keep in mind, a steam locomotive is a different animal than electric or diesel.
(this is a paste from what I wrote at RWA Forum, please, anything you want to add, do so!) Now, you want to drive steam? You are in for the drive of your life. That's like asking Dad for a ride to the skating rink. That one is as easy as asking Mom what's for dinner.
