Double Fairlie info req

Hi everyone,
I'd just like to say hello as I'm new to this forum, I'm looking for info about the double fairlie locos as used on the Blaenau Festiniog railway it concerns the layout of the cab.
Has anyone seen the layout in the cab? from what I can gather from photos I've seen, the firebox is split 50/50 and runs lengthways along the cab fore/aft,although the detail isn't clear.
My query is this, is there equal space either side of it so the driver can stand either side depending on the direction of travel and am I right in assuming the boilers are fired from one side only?[the side the coal bunkers are situated].
Any info would be appreciated and photos would be magic, if you have pics please could you post them.

Kind regards
TTI
