Thanks.
That looks like a new Detroit lubricator in the third image. Does anyone have any background on how this was manufactured, e.g. from drawings,...
I think the majority of the O1s (Thompson rebuilds of the O4s) only had steam brakes.
Definitely the equus genus. You are correct though to the extent that there was a significantly greater number of horses engaged in road transport...
Well Gresley did preside over the largest roster of horsepower within the Big 4 companies (classified as shunting). Return for 1937 attached....
I think Ossie Nock is the culprit - see e.g. Stars Castles and Kings - see Chapter 4 on the Stars where a drawing is labelled "The De...
As you probably know, the locos were given a longer lap c. 1927-31, which required the valves to be given a longer travel. This led to further...
I am not sure I understand your query although you might be asking for a treatise on the advantages of long lap! The port opening at 25% cut-off...
p.12 of Part 2A refers to the alteration to 65% on the A1s because of overrun and the valve clouting the end of the steam chest.
The two concepts are different, albeit not unrelated. Cut-off is the % of the stroke at which the valve closes. If one assumes the TE constant is...
The "de Glehn" bogie did not have equalising beams - look at the images of GWR 102-104, they have individual leaf springs and plate frames,...
Thompson introduced the so-called de Glehn bogie on his Pacifics/B1, which brought the LNER into line with the LMS/SR/GWR, and Peppercorn...
CP powers were included in private acts for railways from the earliest days. I suspect that the concept had already been developed for canal...
From the LNER 1937 "Review of the Company's Business". [ATTACH]
This table is from Johansen's paper to the IMechE in 1936, which Gresley anticipated in his presidential address. Apparently the LMS and LNER...

When you say "a similar HP/LP setup", what were the similarities? (forgive me, I know little about 242A1 apart from it being a three cylinder loco...
Don't disagree with that but unless you are using model engineering drawings to review LBSC's etc designs (which may be the most common use -...
