This caused me to remember when I asked Pete McGovern if I could run
MB 2-8-2T 1055 a little in the yard. He smiled and warned to watch
out for the throttle once I unlatched it. Sure enough, it wanted to
come off the seat on its own and you had to be ready for that.
They're all different, that's for sure.
