Live Valve Gearing

These locomotives are electrically isolated at the axles. This means that the valve gearing on each side of the locomotive is electrically "live". Note, however, that the valve gearing is not actually used for driving the engine's wheels (like it is for real steam locomotives). This is because American Models' locomotives have geared axles.
