WG Bagnall Ltd Commenced Trading As a Locomotive Works DIXIE is a 5" narrow gauge saddle tank loco- motive with open cab and footplate mounted coal bunkers and is based on the Kerr Stuart “Wren” class. These popular, diminutive but powerful locomotives were used widely in industry and because of this several survive today in preservation, including the well known and much travelled “PETER PAN”, the equally well known “PIXIE” and “LORNA DOONE”, a much worked engine, saved from the scrapmans torch and now, thankfully, safely in preservation. G Bagnall Ltd commenced trading as a locomotive works in the year 1887. Noted for their enormous diversity of fin- ished products, it wasn’t until 1891 when Ernest Baguley Wwas engaged as works manager that a production system was intro- duced. Baguley designed a standard range of locomotive types which characterised Bagnall from that time forward. These locomotives were the familiar narrow gauge saddle tanks so popular with small con- tractors and the type that Sapphire is based upon. Sapphire features a “round top” saddle tank, brass filler, full cab and bunkers with cir- cular brass window frames, handrails and cab mounted whistle. Slip eccentric valve gear is fitted as standard with optional Hackworth or Walschaerts valve gear. Other options available (see pricelist) are iron spoked wheels, brass top chimney, screw down brake, mechan- SWALLOW ical lubricator, injector and Tender. SWALLOW is a standard gauge 0-4-0 shunter based on the locomotive supplied to Messrs Cadbury Bros of Bournville in 1959. This engine joined four Avonside built locos of similar design, but of a much earlier date, they were introduced between 1910/20.All these locomotives were painted in the distinctive Cadbury livery of Bright red, lined out in Yellow & Black and with the Cadbury Bournville lettering along the tank sides, in Gold leaf , edged in Crimson. These hand- some engines worked the extensive rail system at Bournville for many years and there is at least one survivor in preservation. Around this time, Hunslet built and supplied a number of similar locomotives for use in industry and as such, are typical of the last British industrial steam locomotives on the standard gauge.

  • Types and Characteristics of Locomotives Dr. Ahmed A. Khalil Steam Locomotives - Operating Principle
    Types and Characteristics of Locomotives Dr. Ahmed A. Khalil Steam Locomotives - Operating Principle: The wheel is connected to the rod by a crank. The rod is connected to the piston rod of the steam cylinder., thereby converting the reciprocating motion of the piston rod generated by steam power into wheel rotation. - Main Parts of a steam locomotive: 1. Tender — Container holding both water for the boiler and combustible fuel such as wood, coal or oil for the fire box. 2. Cab — Compartment from which the engineer and fireman can control the engine and tend the firebox. 3. Whistle — Steam powered whistle, located on top of the boiler and used as a signalling and warning device. 4. Reach rod — Rod linking the reversing actuator in the cab (often a 'johnson bar') to the valve gear. 5. Safety valve — Pressure relief valve to stop the boiler exceeding the operating limit. 6. Generator — Steam powered electric generator to power pumps, head lights etc, on later locomotives. 7. Sand box/Sand dome — Holds sand that can be deposited on the rails to improve traction, especially in wet or icy conditions. 8. Throttle Lever — Controls the opening of the regulator/throttle valve thereby controlling the supply of steam to the cylinders. 9. Steam dome — Collects the steam at the top of the boiler so that it can be fed to the engine via the regulator/throttle valve. 10. Air pump — Provides air pressure for operating the brakes (train air brake system). 11. Smoke box — Collects the hot gas that have passed from the firebox and through the boiler tubes.

  • Crosshead Bearing Design Meets New Challenges
    Royal Belgian Institute of Marine Engineers Crosshead bearing design meets new challenges Proposed improvements to crosshead bearings rely on new materials and processes by Doug Woodyard ew approaches to bearing materials, bearing design and production methods for low speed engines are driven by N higher firing pressures. Bearings need to be engineered to balance load capability with the tribological requirements of the application. The crankshaft of a two-stroke, low speed engine is connected to the piston via a connecting rod, crosshead and piston rod. Crosshead bearing movement is solely oscillating and the load vector is always directed downward; reliable hydrodynamic lubrication and oil supply thus become difficult to ensure. One solution is for hydrostatic lubrication with an oil pressure of around 12 bar in specially created oil pockets. The crosshead pin is thereby raised briefly at each revolution to ensure the oil supply. Two different crosshead bearing designs and lining materials are currently used: either a single lower bearing shell or a divided lower bearing shell, depending on the engine size. The common lining materials are aluminium-based A1Sn40 and whitemetal-based HM07. Future crosshead bearing designs must be robust and combine a high safety margin with high performance, Austrian bearing specialist Miba advises, requiring bearing designs based on A1Sn40 linings to be further improved. Extra wide lower crosshead shells rather than divided designs are proposed for long-stroke engines with a minimum bore of 400mm. Miba's new lower crosshead bearing design, termed a Patch-Work-Bearing, is based on a tri-metal configuration of steel-aluminium-tin 40-Synthec for Tier II engine platforms.
