Just imagine a fleet of 1000 of these built in the 1950s. :)
I couldn't decide which of 224 and Abbotsford to include in my list.
I realise I forgot to give reasons when I posted my list way, way back. I think most are obvious except to add that I included the Kirtley...
Very good point about Caernarvon and Beddgelert.
As there would be no need for a smokebox vacuum to draw the fire the blast pipe could be dispensed with in the interests of efficiency. So it...
Looking at my own list and what's preserved or exists as a replica; there are replicas of the first 3, we don't have a Kirtley 0-6-0 but we do...
Trevethick's locomotive Stephenson's Rocket Stephenson's Planet Kirtley 0-6-0 Drummond's 'Abbotsford' Ivatt large boiler C1 Churchward No 28...
Could be popular? I can just visualise it painted green, lined red, with a happy face covering the smokebox door. [emoji33] [emoji33]
Sadly I fear acquisition of the land for the 1 km south from Parracombe will be even more of a battle than getting planning approval.
When I read '150 year old locomotive' I hoped it might mean Welsh Pony, but the website has a photo of Prince, as expected really. But...
Weren't Deely's 990 class for comparison with the 1000 class compounds? I don't know about performance but the simple locos didn't last very...
Do you mean middle to the front, that photo is a rear 3/4 view, it ran condenser leading. [emoji2] I can't work out any way the driver can...
The Beyer-Ljungstrom locomotive seems to have been the most successful British condensing turbine loco. But maintenance (and construction) costs...
Did Bulleid see this when he was younger?
I like the idea of restoring Livingston Thompson, though it would be expensive as it would need a new boiler, tanks, bogies, cylinders, cab and...
The small prairies weren't auto engines in GWR days. They were fitted for use in South Wales in the 1950s. Many of the surviving trailers date...
I was going to say that efficiency in locomotive design was also directed towards getting the maximum power within a given weight, perhaps...
I've moved my reply to the Compounding thread.
The longer wheelbase would probably preclude the use of cylinders as large as on the 4-4-0s
The condensing systems discussed above for underground work are a very different concept from that used with compound marine and static power...
