Peter Fitch and Peter Pardington are seen here (right) putting the finishing touches to it on Tuesday 25th March. To the left of the post box can be seen the new style of fence which it is hoped will eventually go all round the turntable. Much other work has also been going on over the winter months. In the workshop the big lathe has been converted back to run on a three phase supply. It originally ran on three-phase, but was converted to single phase when we first acquired it. Now that we have installed a three phase converter to supply other machinery in the workshop, the opportunity was taken to convert the lathe back again.

  • 200 Hp Sentinel Steam Locomotive
    200 H.P. SENTINEL STEAM LOCOMOTIVE INSTRUCTION MANUAL Preface In the following pages are set forth a considerable amount of information on the technique of driving and maintaining your Sentinel Locomotive to the best advantage. If the instructions and advice given in this book are carefully followed your Sentinel Locomotive will not fail to give good and faithful service and will no doubt earn the affection of its operators and all those concerned with it, as all good machines should. The object of this book is to help all those connected with the locomotive to give it the best possible treatment so that the locomotive may also give its best in return. In order to give operators full advantage of new developments in the locomotive itself or in repair technique or modifications, we propose to send out Service Bulletins from time to time so that everyone may be fully informed of developments. You are cordially invited to write to us if you experience any difficulties in following any of the instructions given in this book or if you require any additional information on subjects not covered. On receipt of your queries we will fully reply to your questions and if it is of general topical interest we will send out a Service Bulletin on the subject raised. By this method we hope to form a fraternity of Sentinel operators. We have kept the size of this book to reasonable proportions so that it can be carried readily in the pocket. In order to achieve this we have not reproduced detailed drawings for each section as this would increase the size of the book considerably.

  • PACIFIC’ Coupling Rods Fitted to Tornado at Darlington Locomotive Works

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.

  • SENTINEL™ High Efficiency, Cast-Iron Gas Boiler
    SENTINEL™ High efficiency, cast-iron gas boiler RELIABLE, ECONOMICAL HOME HEATING. SENTINEL™ High efficiency, cast-iron gas boiler The smarter choice for informed homeowners. Enjoy home heating comfort with the extra confidence that an advanced design Sentinel boiler pro- vides. The Sentinel boiler combines the reliability of natural draft and cast-iron construction with the high efficiency performance provided by the Slant/Fin S-Series heat exchanger. A new Sentinel boiler can save 30% or more on fuel bills compared to a typical old boiler operating at 60% efficiency. Reliable natural draft design When the Sentinel boiler is operating, combus- tion air enters the boiler and exhaust is expelled up the chimney by natural draft. No mechanical combustion aids are required for the boiler to attain its high efficiency. Nor does it require the copper fin tubes, water bypass valves or con- densing technologies utilized by some other high-efficiency boilers. With fewer components, there’s less chance of losing your heat because of part failure. High performance heating The Sentinel boiler’s S-Series heat exchanger has for years been a “workhorse” of the heating industry, in boilers chosen by heating contrac- tors for performance and reliability. It’s made of quality cast-iron and assembled with durable metal push nipples. Specially shaped thermal pins promote efficient heat transfer. The boiler heats quickly, sending warmth to radiators throughout your home within moments of your thermostat’s call for heat. The Sentinel boiler is so reliable it comes with a lifetime limited warranty. Intermittent ignition or standing pilot models Enjoy the easy installation and reliable operation that natural draft design provides, plus high efficiency too.

  • 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.

  • U DYE WB Yeadon London & North Eastern 1847-1997 Railway Collection
    Hull History Centre: W.B. Yeadon London & North Eastern Railway collection U DYE W.B. Yeadon London & North Eastern 1847-1997 Railway collection Historical background: Willie Brayshaw Yeadon was born in Yeadon in the West Riding of Yorkshire on 28 June 1907. After his schooldays, he trained to become a mechanical engineer, and started work with Bradford Dyers, but was unfortunately made redundant in 1930 following the onset of terrible trading conditions. In 1931 he joined JH Fenner Ltd in Hull ('makers of improved beltings'), eventually becoming Sales Manager and then Marketing Manager, until his official retirement in 1972. He died at the age of 89 on 16 January 1997 in Hull Royal Infirmary after a short illness. By then he had become probably the country's leading authority on the London & North Eastern Railway and its locomotives. Indeed, Eric Fry, honorary editor of 'Locomotives of the LNER', writing in the 'Railway Observer' in March 1997, described him as possibly 'the foremost locomotive historian of all time'. Willie Yeadon's earliest railway interest had been the London & North Western Railway, with visits and family holidays to Shap summit and Tebay. On his removal to Hull, however, the London & North Eastern Railway became his main preoccupation, and he was particularly inspired by the development and progress of Sir Nigel Gresley's Pacific class locomotives during the 1930s. He began to collect railway photographs in 1933, and continued his interest after railway nationalisation in 1948. The British Railways modernisation programme undertaken from the mid - 1950s prompted him to investigate and record the history of every LNER locomotive.
