Each of the four 7ft 6in rods weighs around two hundredweight and after forging, extensive machining and heat treatment, the four cost around £22,000 to manufacture. These rods are vital components within the £150,000 valve gear and motion assemblies, which are now the focus of work on Tornado at the Trust’s Darlington Locomotive Works. The Trust has also started work on the fitting of the rest of the outside motion. The bushes for the connecting rods are currently being machined at Ian Howitt Ltd, Wakefield and one side of the locomotive has now been fitted with a mock-up of parts of its valve gear. This is to enable accurate measurements to be taken to set the length of the eccentric rod as the traditional method of heating the rod to stretch/shrink it used when the original Peppercorn A1s were built in 1948/9 is no longer recommended as it can affect the rod’s metallurgical properties.

The Richmond order comprised distributed throughout the CP system: U3a engines, numbered of Pittsburg4 compound locomotives with “D” slide valves and 6101-6130; 3 U3b engines, 6140-6142; 66 U3c engines, 6143- Belpaire fireboxes.

  • Union Pacific 844 4-8-4 FEF “Northern”
    True Sound Project for Zimo Sounds designed by Heinz Daeppen US Steam Page 1 Version 160328 Union Pacific 844 4-8-4 FEF “Northern” The Prototype The category FEF locomotives of the Union Pacific Railroad (UP), also known as class 800, are steam locomotives with the wheel arrangement 2'D2 '(Northern). In the total of 45 locomotives, there are three series of delivery or subclasses FEF 1 FEF 2 and FEF-3, where the FEF-2 and -3 differ in driving axels and cylinder diameter to the FEF-1. The last locomotive of this series, no. 844, was the last steam locomotive built for UP. It was never taken out of service and is kept operational by the UP today. In the late 1930s, the pulling loads on train operations were so large that the 2'D1 locomotives Class 7000 reached its limits. After the failure of such a locomotive, which happened to be pulling a train containing the official car of the US President, ALCO was commissioned to build a stronger engine, which could pull 20 coaches with 90 mph (145 km/h) on the flat. The first 20 locomotives were delivered 1937. They got the numbers 800-819 and the name FEF, which stood for "four-eight-four" (the wheel arrangement 4-8-4 in the Whyte notation). They had a driving wheels of 77 inches (1956 mm). The first driving axel was displaced laterally, so that despite a solid wheelbase of 6.7 m the locomotive could still handle the same radius curves . Despite the size of the locomotives only two cylinders were used, as was almost always common in the United States.

  • Stratford Drawings and Microfilm Lists.Xlsx
    Stratford Photo Tracings and Liquid Fuel Photo Tracings Drawings Lists Description: There are approximately 16000 engineering drawings covering locomotives, carriages and wagons, components, road vehicles and a miscellaneous variety of objects. There is an associated and quite unique card index system related to the drawings and a set of registers. System of arrangement: The engineering drawings have been sorted and listed in separate series based on the apparent practice of the drawing office at Stratford. The main series of the drawings can be categorised into four main types: 1. Photo tracings on wax linen. These acted as a master from which copies could be made for other purposes. 2. Office copies. These were prints on paper, with the earliest using a cyanotype photo process for copying, sometime additionally coloured, and kept in the drawing office. 3. Shop copies. These were on a variety of materials tacked onto wooden rods and used in the workshops. They have survived in this condition and are inevitably uniformly dirty and frequently in poor condition. 4. Bench-hole copies. These were separate from the main series, as only about 20% originated at Stratford. Most came from external sources. Essentially they formed a technical reference library of ideas and suggestions. They were folded and stored flat in a pigeonhole system. In total they comprise approximately 16000 drawings. There is duplication between the various series but the extent of this has not yet been appraised. The main series of drawings runs potentially from 1 to 42459, plus ‘attachments’ and ‘parts’ drawings. Most of these drawings have not survived into the present, as a result of periodic culls of material.
