You probably left out 'not'! But the T1s were streamlined and Franklin approved their valves for 100mph in normal use and 125mph for short...
So what qualifies you to dismiss this? Withuhn would hardly have included this in his book without sufficient justification. The two witnesses...
I quote from the book: 'Careful inspection of logged entries and watch, as well as the consistency of successive time intervals between mileposts...
There was a similar accident in 2011, apparently caused by 120kmh wind gusts:...

More an eccentric rod than a coupling rod. The furthest end is attached to a crank. The 623 Class had a Franco-Crosti preheater on both sides.
Given that the French Atlantics had right angle bends in their steam pipes and slide valves for their LP cylinders but were pretty the equal of...
Perhaps you should also consider the PRR T1s? In his book 'American Steam Locomotives Design and Development 1880-1960, Bill Withuhn discusses...
Yes, that's correct, but Withuhn's interview of Delano and Kirchhof, independently, offered the same story without prompting from the interviewer....
It also has to be remembered that Nock was a signal, not locomotive, engineer, a senior manager at Westinghouse.
But a Kylchap is a Kylala modified by Chapelon which is precisely what both accounts state. Work started on the W1 in 1924, a year before...
LNER.info: 'During 1928 trials were performed with 'Kylala' blastpipes fitted to D49/1 No. 251 and D49/3 No. 322. Initial results with No. 251...
All explained (hopefully) on P.25 of O.S. Nock's 'The Stars, Castles and Kings' Part 1.
Col. Roger's book. Perhaps you can provide evidence of the claims that you made regarding Gresley and Chapelon, ref. 'Chapelon and Other Matters',...
Other sources state that Chapelon supplied drawings of a Kyala exhaust with modifications made by Chapelon. Chapelon subsequently rode on one of...
Not strictly true. There's one 141R in France (an oil burner) now running on Dertal 600, an oil derived from pine trees. It will eventually be...
But before rebuilding, 3566, along with other members of the 4500 and 3500 classes (4528 & 4597 amongst them), together with a simple expansion...
Unfortunately for Holcroft, he had allowed the patent on his valve gear to lapse in 1913. Gresley was informed of this by his patent agents in 1916.
Surely that's a little late? Both Gresley and Bulleid visited Tours in 1925. Marc de Caso had adopted Chapelon's methods in the early 30s - just...
Perhaps Chapelon's influence was limited, particularly in the UK, by language. All his writings were in French. Both Gresley and Bulleid were...
