Where screw fixing is used, the same remarks concerning countersink heads apply. 6.2 Bearing installation There are two types of bearing in common use, plain bushes and hornguide systems. The former are used in totally rigid frames or in conjunction with the latter for a compensated chassis. A sprung chassis requires an all-hornguide system. Both types are illustrated in Figure 6-2. 6.2.1 Plain bearings Figure 6-3 Marking the position for soldering. These usually take the form of 'top-hat' bearings and it is important that the bearing head seats few thou' concentrically with a broach, refit the firmly against the frames. To ensure this, break the bush and axle and, sighting along the square edge of the hole in the frames by gently running a again, move the bush in the appropriate direction drill about three times the hole diameter against to get the axle square (Figure 6-3). Mark the the hole to remove the corner. Spinning it in the required position by striking a line across the bush fingers is sufficient. This will enable the head to head and frame.

Once the bush is correctly positioned, solder it Before securing the bush, check that the axle in place. running in it is square in two planes to the frames. Having established the position of the first axle, Using a small engineer's square, sight the blade the coupling rods can be used to position the against an axle fitted in the bushes.

It is necessary to ensure that the two hornblocks supporting each axle are correctly aligned to each other across the frames. Set up the first pair of hornguides with either a jury axle or an alignment tool. A set of compression springs that fit over the jury axles and push the hornguides and bearing assembly onto the frames Photo 6.1 A 7mm chassis showing the springs are ideal for this (Figure 6-2). The hornguides can holding the hornguides in position. be juggled around, sighting the axle against the square until they are positioned accurately. Then, depending on the type of hornguides used, either solder or glue them in place. The same applies when using a chassis assembly jig. The remaining hornguides can then be positioned using the coupling rods as guides (Figure 6-4 and Photo 6.1) or by using one of the chassis alignment jigs that are available from the trade. A compensated chassis is simply a combination of the two systems and is treated in the same way but combining the methods. Always start by fitting the plain bearings.

Beware the brass dust and particles of abrasive that can fly out. Eye protection is essential for this operation. Some modellers prefer to polish the axle down using wet and dry paper, rather than enlarge the bearings. In such a case, some means is required to rotate the axle as the abrasive is applied. A problem with hornblocks is that, with time, they will wear, which results in a loss of wheel Figure 6-4 Jury axles used to locate hornguides. positioning. (The same happened on the prototype.) Not only is this important for smooth running, but Once the bearings have been fitted, the wheelsets it can cause problems with some prototypes where should be fitted and the free rolling or otherwise wheels are very close to motion brackets and brake should be checked. If all is well the chassis should gear, because this may result in electrical shorts. roll down a short length of track with one end lifted Whether this becomes a problem will depend on an inch or so. If there is a degree of “stiction” then how intensively the model is run. Another option, the bearings should be opened out by a few thou’. where the chassis is compensated, is to mount the 3 bearings directly into the compensation beams.

SECOND EDITION (Enlarged). £on&on THE RAILWAY PUBLISHING CO., Ltd., 79 and 80, Temple Chambers, Temple Avenue, E.C. 1899. T3 in PKEFACE TO SECOND EDITION. When, ten days ago, the first copy of the " Evolution of the Steam Locomotive" was ready for sale, I did not expect to be called upon to write a preface for a new edition before 240 hours had expired. The author cannot but be gratified to know that the whole of the extremely large first edition was exhausted practically upon publication, and since many would-be readers are still unsupplied, the demand for another edition is pressing. Under these circumstances but slight modifications have been made in the original text, although additional particulars and illustrations have been inserted in the new edition. The new matter relates to the locomotives of the North Staffordshire, London., Tilbury, and Southend, Great Western, and London and North Western Railways. I sincerely thank the many correspondents who, in the few days that have elapsed since the publication: of the "Evolution of the , Steam Locomotive," have so readily assured me of - their hearty appreciation of the book. rj .;! G. A. SEKON. -! January, 1899. PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. In connection with the marvellous growth of our railway system there is nothing of so paramount importance and interest as the evolution of the locomotive steam engine.

  • Modeling China's — and Now Iowa's — Mighty QJ 2-10-2'S
    February 2007, Volume 75, Number 9 Modeling China’s — and now Iowa’s — mighty QJ 2-10-2’s After being replaced by diesels in their home country of China, a few of these modern, heavy-duty steamers have found their way to the American Heartland / Robert D. Turner ntil the end of 2005 one last place remained on Earth where big steam locomotives in substantial numbers were running in regular freight and passenger service on a year- round basis. That place was northern China, and in particular the autonomous region U of Inner Mongolia, to the northwest of Beijing. There, on the JiTong Railway, (often written Ji-tong) a stable of rugged 2-10-2’s—coal-fired and fire breathing—were still racking up ton- miles every day in an uncompromising display of first-class railroading. These impressive machines were China’s QJ class locomotives. QJ is short for Qian Jin, or “Advancing.” It comes from the Chinese revolutionary slogan, “revolution is the locomotive pushing human history forward.” Revolutionary rhetoric aside, which I am sure loses something in the translation, it is fair to say that in years to come the QJ will be remembered as one of the most interesting and important types of steam locomotives developed in the 20th century. In fact, two now reside in North America, having been imported by Railroad Development Corporation in June of 2006. They were moved to the Iowa Interstate Railroad soon after their arrival and were operated on its rails over the weekend of September 14-17, 2006. I met my first QJ early in 2001 on China Rail just before they were retired, and then began to explore the JiTong Railway, where QJ’s were in abundance.

I AM ambitious to extend and improve the social condition of locomotive drivers by placing within their reach a standard test of capacity that will be unaffected by local or temporary prejudices, fancies, fashions, or accidental connections. It appears to me that our enginemen of to-day will be to those of the next century what " Puffing Billy " in 1825 is to the " Monarch of Speed " in 1877. I hold a very strong opinion that our enginemen may be stripped of old habits and customs by self-help and self-reliance, and developed into a high state of efficiency. In carrying out such a measure of progress, difficulties, no doubt, which usually attend the work of reformation, will crop up ; and many disappointments await the pioneer. The engine is ahead of the engineman—all the hard scheming, comparatively speaking, is done ; but the engineman remains where he was in George Stephenson's time, and his stationary condi- tion jars with his surroundings.

These designs should not be confused with the well known locomotive kits. Designs are exclusive to Polly and include models in the popular scales of 3 ½”, 5” and 7 ¼” gauge. The general aim of Practical Scale has been to provide designs suitable for the 21 st Century where aspirations for fine scale models are very high, but experience, skill and facilities are not always available. Designs are produced by reputable designers with the majority being published in the model engineering press. We specialise in GWR designs, but the range includes locos from other railways, including SR, HR and MR. We offer a number of GWR standard parts also suitable for designs other than those listed. Wheel castings etc for other designs are also available, please enquire. The most well known of our designs is Penrhos Grange in 5” gauge, designed by Neville Evans and although an impressive GWR 4-6-0, this loco is relatively simple to build. In addition to the drawings and castings which might normally be supplied, there are a wide range of lost wax castings, laser cut parts and some machined parts available.

  • Southern Railway Locomotive Drawings and Microfilm Lists.Xlsx
    Southern Railway Microfilm Lists Description: These are a selection from the Southern Railway Works drawings collection deemed to be of particular interest to researchers and preserved railways. The cards are listed in two tables – a main list of drawings from each of the main works and a smaller list of sketches. There are 943 drawings in total. The main table of drawings has been sub-divided into the three constituent works of the former Southern Railway and British Rail (Southern Region). These were Ashford (formerly the South Eastern & Chatham Railway), Brighton (formerly the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway, both B and W series) and Eastleigh (formerly the London & South Western Railway and including the predecessor works at Nine Elms). There are 826 drawings in this series. Details in the tables are drawn directly from the originals. Further information may be obtained by cross-reference with the full list of surviving original drawings (locomotives only) or works registers. A small number of drawings are of poor quality and will not print out in fine detail. This has usually been indicated. Users of these aperture cards are advised that they should view the aperture cards before purchasing printed copies as there can be no guarantee that all details will be clearly visible. The tables as set out include all drawings copied up to the present. The majority are from locomotives, but there are some from carriage and wagons. At all the works these were drawn in the same numerical series. The listing of the original carriage and wagon drawings from the former Southern works is still at an early stage and there may therefore be additions to the available aperture cards in due course.
