Ignition-Cut Shifting Explained 🚀 Every gear change (unless you’re in Drag Mode) reduces engine torque just enough to shift fast while keeping clutch wear minimal. But the “how” matters: ⠀ ⚡ Throttle Reduction - Smooth but slow. The engine closes the throttle or reduces valve lift to drop torque, like lifting off in a manual. ⠀ ⚡ Ignition Retard - Faster. Keeps the throttle open (and boost up!) but raises exhaust temps. Great balance of speed and smoothness. ⠀ ⚡ Cylinder Cut - The fastest metho

Live steam locomotives were prepared for service throughout the day at the Illinois Live Steamers during the club's 51st Anniversary Meet.
