Just some fun with a lash-up and smoke units.

Cute little smoke fanner! My grandson used to do that too!
Of course, being steamers, this would be "double-heading" (not "MU'ing, a non-steam term/ability)
Now, the "tender-to-tender" hook-up is rare, but not unknown.
Would it be "double-rearing" in this case? Hm.
I've also seen a photo of a NYC pusher (rare itself) in steam days on the rear of the train running tender-first.
Tie ups and Lash Ups,
Are done with shoe laces
MU's and Consists
Take trains to far places.
Knowing the difference
Makes all of us sing...
These are a few of my favorite things.
By the way, nice video.
Where's the rope??

Nice poem Matt!
(In this case I was referring to the dcs control system term. Even though I have real world RR experience, sometimes it's just fun to see what type of response you get

I only have the one command steamer that has functioning couplers on both ends. I was thinking that in the real world if I had to run around a train to pull in the opposite direction why wouldn't I want the engine that was at the rear of the loco consist to now be facing forward? I have never seen it done this way in pictures, but why not?
Looks like a lot of fun. The little guy chasing the trains around fanning the smoke makes the video!
