Message definition (Cylinder Cocks)
When steam is no longer fed to the cylinders, during coasting or being stationary, for example, it quickly cools down. This is because the cylinders are separated from the hot {{pll|Boiler|boiler}} and the {{pll|Firebox|firebox}}. Naturally, the remaining steam in the cylinders quickly condenses back into water. If enough water collects in cylinders, they will start producing a sloshy sound with each gear cycle. This is dangerous, because unlike steam, water isn't compressible, and if pushed by a piston it can break the cylinder and cause {{pll|Mechanical Powertrain Damage|catastrophic powertrain failure}}.

When steam is no longer fed to the cylinders, during coasting or being stationary, for example, it quickly cools down. This is because the cylinders are separated from the hot boiler and the firebox . Naturally, the remaining steam in the cylinders quickly condenses back into water. If enough water collects in cylinders, they will start producing a sloshy sound with each gear cycle. This is dangerous, because unlike steam, water isn't compressible, and if pushed by a piston it can break the cylinder and cause catastrophic powertrain failure .
