It's a soalker (Saturated). D or slide valves as they are also known as don't tolerate superheat very well hence the switch to piston valves starting at the early part of the last century. The former GTL # 40 is a good example of a locomotive that was upgraded to piston valves from slide valves and superheat with an after market Franklin kit.
