	Also known as the cut-off, the reverser control provides you direction control and cut-off control on a steam locomotive. The cut-off controls how long steam is admitted from the steam chest into the cylinders for each stroke of the cylinders; at higher speeds you should reduce cut-off to reduce the amount of steam being used by the cylinders, and hence allow steam to be used more efficiently and to allow greater speed.

	===		===Independent Brake===
			Also known as the Locomotive Brake, the Independent Brake will apply the brakes on just your locomotive (or locomotives if multiple are coupled together). Not all locomotives may be fitted with an Independent Brake, and as such this control may have little or no effect on some locomotives.
			The keyboard control for the Independent Brake is E
			This will toggle the Independent Brake between fully applied and fully released.

			===Coal===
			The Coal control allows you to automatically add coal to the fire of the locomotive, in a similar fashion to a mechanical stoker. The further you move this control, the more/faster the coal will be added. The exact rate will vary between locomotives.
			You can also add coal manually by pressing the Spacebar (this will put 1 shovel of coal into the firebox for each keypress)

			===Water===
			The Water control allows you set your primary injector to add water to the boiler. The rate water is added will vary between locomotives.

			They keyboard controls for the primary injector are I (increase) and O (decrease).
			Additionally, the secondary injector can be operated with SHIFT + I (increase) and SHIFT + O (decrease)
