Sheff gefällt Jimcs Beitrag in dem Thema GWR four-cylinder arrangement?.
Yes, like all pretty much all engineering its about tradeoffs. We enthusiasts are very prone to talk about success and failure, but most likely in most situations its more nuanced than that. The French compounds on the GWR, for instance, weren't...

It is nonsense to say without qualification that compounding is good or compounding is bad. The choice between simple and compound expansion is like many choices in engineering, with each having pros and cons. Two factors in France, the high cost...

Oh, forgot about 2253! No, that's 31466 which needs new tyres I believe. 31128 is owned by Nemesis Rail and was on hire last year.

I think that you will find that the match between Churchward's locos and the French Atlantics was fairly equal but only because the former had advanced large, long-travel valves whereas the latter had narrow steam passages and slide valves for...

Boiler maintenance and repair is dictated by time, and not even time in steam. Extensions are possible, but the amount of steam generated isn't likely to be a factor. Steam cycles have a greater effect.

Its a shame the K1 isn't quite available yet. If it isn't going to Scotland it would be a very useful engine to cover the Whitby's.

Plus 29 which was on driver experiences the other day. But yes, looks like just the three. 926 isn't ready yet. 92134 is having a new chimney fitted and other repairs carried out by the looks of things. 45428 still awaiting parts. 31128 doesn't...

Industrial and marine steam engines were almost universally compounds (or strictly speaking triple expansion engines), although of course they generally had condensers. The SS Titanic and her sisters had triple expansion engines driving the outer...

With the failure of 47077 yesterday and today's roster only showing 44806, 37264 and 37688 (normally 4 locos). Is that it? Only 3 locos available for traffic at the moment?
