Back in the mid 1970's we had a Metropolitan on the fireman's side of Cedar Point & Lake Erie #5 (now #44). It didn't get used a whole lot as I recall. The engineer's injector was an inch and half Pemberthy and we ran with just the engineer in those days. As I recall, once the Metro was dialed in (which took a bit of time) it worked well. Still preferred the Sellers that was on the #2.
