Picture taken yesterday - from the Signalbox at Bo'ness. The Station Master had complained about my 'smoke' ( ) - the Signalman only scored it at '2' - and trouble only starts at '4' I asked him to take a picture to prove the point..........

Steam engines aren't known for their efficiency.
A quick Google finds;
"In practice, a steam engine exhausting the steam to atmosphere will have an efficiency (including the boiler) of 5%, but with the addition of a condenser the efficiency is greatly improved to 25% or better."
