I believe most standard gauge roundhouses were designed to have the engines placed with the front towards the back so that there was more width to work on the front. #4 had been placed tender first so the front could be pushed outside so the stack could be clear during firing up. Once we have a blower I believe it could use the smoke jacks for firing up.
