			File:Oil Burning Pacific Backhead Vance Nickerson.jpg\|Backhead view of a 1.5 inch scale Pacific. I install dry pipes on my boilers whether coal or oil firing for the turret to help with the atomizer getting as dry steam as possible. Never attach the sight glass to the turret. I'm not hesitant to drill and tap the boiler shell but I always use heavy wall tubing. Photo and text by Vance Nickerson.

			The [[Boiler backhead\|backhead]] of a steam locomotive is the end of its firebox facing inside the cab. Most of the locomotive’s controls used by the locomotive’s engineer and fireman are mounted on the backhead. All the controls needed to manage the firebox’s fuel intake, boiler’s steam pressure, the locomotive’s speed and direction, and a whole lot more are within easy reach of its crew.
