I found this guy.
The 2 cylinders are double action. Power up and down stroke. So it's equal to a 4 cylinder 2 stroke (or 4 stroke v8). It's making power everywhere in the stroke. Doesn't really need to idle, or have a clutch, or flywheel. You'll notice it pulls just fine at 0 RPM. Kind of like electric that way. Steam engines don't blow the piston down with pressure. They shoot a small amount of steam in, then let it expand to remove the heat from it.
