  • The Steam Locomotive Table, V1

    The Steam Locomotive Table, V1

    The Steam Locomotive Table, v1 If you’re reading this; you either like steam trains, or want to know more about them. Hopefully, either way, I can scratch your itch with this; a set of randomizer/dice-roll tables of my own making; as inspired by some similar tables for tanks and aircrafts. Bear with me, I know not everyone knows the things I do, and I sure know I don’t know a lot of things other train enthusiasts do; but hopefully the descriptions and examples will be enough to get anyone through this smoothly. To begin, you’ll either want a bunch of dice or any online dice-rolling/number generating site (or just pick at your own whim); and somewhere or something to keep track of the details. These tables will give details of a presumed (roughly) standard steam locomotive. No sentinels or other engines with vertical boilers; no climax, shay, etc specially driven locomotives; are considered for this listing as they can change many of the fundamental details of an engine. Go in expecting to make the likes of mainline, branchline, dockyard, etc engines; not the likes of experiments like Bulleid’s Leader or specific industry engines like the aforementioned logging shays. Some dice rolls will have uneven distribution, such as “1-4, and 5-6”. Typically this means that the less likely detail is also one that is/was significantly less common in real life, or significantly more complex to depict. For clarity sake examples will be linked, but you’re always encouraged to look up more as you would like or feel necessary.

    Masterclass MLS-2

    MasterClass MLS-2 Build a 2-6-6T / 0-6-6T Mason Bogie An Adventure in 1:20.3 By David Fletcher Chapter 6 - The Mason Valve Gear Background Well this has been a while coming! The world seems to have changed since I began setting this class up in late 2001. However we are now clear to run the class through to completion, and oh boy are we close to finished already! To the end of chapter 5 you will have already completed all the major components of the model. In chapter 6 we now install the valve gear to the BBT chassis, and in chapter 7 we install the paperwork and detail the backhead. The model will be complete at that point, only leaving chapter 8 as a summing up and discussion about decals and decoration. Keep the faith, chaps; we're almost there. Never losing sight of the format of these MasterClasses, this chapter contains a "Background" section and "Construction" section. Copyright 2002 - myLargescale.com/Model Railroads Online, LLC Page 1 Background: In this chapter, one of our best brings us the story of the Articulated loco. This is a really good summary of the development of the narrow gauge articulated locomotive in its many guises. We are especially proud to have Chris Walas present this to us, and thank him for the dedicated research and time he has put into Fairlie locomotives generally. Please enjoy this "Background" section. <<Fairlies.pdf>> Construction: In this chapter we finally place the BBT chassis under out models and install the rods, valve gear and bell rig assembly.

  • UP Class 4000 “Bigboy”

    UP Class 4000 “Bigboy”

    True Sound Project for Zimo Sounds designed by Heinz Daeppen US Steam Page 1 Version 150403 UP Class 4000 “BigBoy” Prototype information The class 4000 of the Union Pacific Railroad (UP), known as the Big Boy, was one of the largest and most powerful steam locomotives worldwide. A total of 25 units of this type were built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO), 20 in the year 1941 and five in the year 1944. It was designed by a team led by Otto Jabelmann, who had already designed the Big Boy predecessor, the class 3900. (The Manufacturer's designation was Challenger with the wheel arrangement (2'C) C2 '). An unknown employee of the ALCO works came up with the name Big Boy, which he wrote with chalk on the smoke chamber. The name came into use quickly for the locomotives of the 4000 class. The locomotives were specified by the Union Pacific Railroad especially for the freight duty in the Rocky Mountains, to eliminate the need for labor-intensive double heading and helper operations over the continental divide. The most difficult section on the Union Pacific transcontinental line of was the long climb over Sherman Hill (Albany County, Wyoming) south of Ames Monument, with a maximum gradient of 1.55%. The new locomotives needed to pull 3.600 short tons (about 3.300 t) up this gradient, but also had to be fast enough to cover the whole distance between Cheyenne (Wyoming) and Ogden (Utah) without changing locomotives. The performance requirements showed the need for an articulated locomotive with the wheel arrangement (2'd) D2 ' (Whyte notation: 4-8-8-4 ).
