Full Ahead to Full Astern immediately on a T3 Expansion engine is accomplished by throwing over the Stephenson Reversing Link, no big issue as can be seen in the film clip posted by Murchison65, I sailed on one Steam Recip job, CS Edward Wilshaw 2495 Gross Tonnage, 2 x triple expansion 3 cylinder engines total IHP 2100, great for manoeuvrability not so good for top end (about 10 Knots), it was a bit of a change from 484,000 dwt and 45000 shp Globtik Tokyo.
Full, Half, Slow, Dead Slow and Stop are controlled by the throttle valve.
