The Raven Pacifics got new crank axles in1925,Raven very much alive and his son in law probably had mental scars from WW1. It is quite possible...
Certainly but I was trying if there was a connection between Thomson being war weary son in law when father in laws pacifics needed new cranks....
Not really as the worst crankshaft stresses come from bending and here Thompsons solution is not better than the one schemed out here....
It is still not clear to me why Thomson rebuilt the P2s as pacifics with divided drive. In Yeadons book it is stated that all the Raven A2...
It is because old UK technology is just as important as football and that is more important than life or death.
Strange. I like looking at full rigged sailing ships and it will not make me more happy if they carry cargoes of opium.slaves and arms. I like...
To put some numbers on the firefree stopgap steam battery. A cylindrical steam container within the present T3 boiler outline can contain 7 m3....
In 1971 I have seen the locomotive in Clapham and fell in love with it. If money cannot be found for a new boiler it will still be possible to run...

Who was trying to fool whom? I love stories of technical fraud.
OK I have no driving expirience. My only footplate ride was on a Heissler along The Pacific in Tillamook,OR. Very nice.
Why the B16/3?
If we look at the graph from Britannia constant steaming 36000 lbs/hour fed 5600 lbs of coal by two firemen it can be judged that mean value is...
Yes but having 200 horsepower more for 5 minuttes does not change timetable very much.
I have pdf copies of BR tests for Brit,V2,Hall and Class 8. Could we pool somewhere without going to jail for Copyrigth?
The Merchant Navy 3000 lbs/hour value of 1600 hp is rebuild value.
Is new-build steam not modelling? Expensive modelling:
You still have the handicap of four cylinders being less effective than two doing same work. Even BMW makes three cylindered engines for same...
Makes 27 horsepower per ton compared to Britannia that gives 24 horsepower per ton.Best steam figure for Duke was 12.2 something per something and...
