Download or read book German Express Steam Locomotives written by Andreas Knipping and published by Pen and Sword Transport. This book was released on 2022-09-08 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the author defines the express stem locomotive on the basis of the mandatory criterion of large drive wheels, and studies its evolution from around 1850 to the last refinements made around 1960, with many wrong turns and great successes along the way. This highly illustrated work features over 6,000 German express steam locomotives, including the oldest, the 1A1 and the Crampton; the largest, the Prussian S3; the fastest, the Reichsbahn-05; arguably the most successful, the Bavarian S3/6; and the most powerful, the Bundesbahn's oil-fired three-cylinder 01.
Download or read book The American Steam Locomotive in the Twentieth Century written by Tom Morrison and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1900 and 1950, Americans built the most powerful steam locomotives of all time--enormous engines that powered a colossal industry. They were deceptively simple machines, yet, the more their technology was studied, the more obscure it became. Despite immense and sustained engineering efforts, steam locomotives remained grossly inefficient in their use of increasingly costly fuel and labor. In the end, they baffled their masters and, as soon as diesel-electric technology provided an alternative, steam locomotives disappeared from American railroads. Drawing on the work of eminent engineers and railroad managers of the day, this lavishly illustrated history chronicles the challenges, triumphs and failures of American steam locomotive development and operation.

Download or read book Locomotive Engine Running and Management written by Angus Sinclair and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-07-21 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work connected with the ordinary repairing of running engines, the emergency repairing executed to get engines ready hurriedly to meet the traffic demands on a road then chronically short of power, and diagnosing the numerous diseases that locomotives are heir to, provided ample material from which this book was constructed. The author is convinced that there is an urgent demand among engineers, machinists, and others, for plainly given information relating to numerous operations connected with the repairing and maintenance of locomotives. To meet this demand, the chapters on "Valve-Motion" and all the succeeding parts of the book were written. In preparing a book for the use of engineers, firemen, machinists, and others interested in locomotive matters, it has been the author's aim to treat all subjects discussed in such a way that any reader would easily understand every sentence written. No attempt is made to convey instruction in anything beyond elementary problems in mechanical engineering, and all problems brought forward are treated in the simplest manner possible.
