PS 80 How to Use a Model Steam Engine
How to use a model steam engine Model steam engines can be used to demonstrate a complete energy conversion system and to show good health and safety practice. They are very safe, if the guidance below is followed. This information complements that in the CLEAPSS Laboratory Handbook, section 9.7 and in guide L214 Examining Autoclaves, Pressure Cookers and Model Steam Engines. Under the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations, a regular inspection is required using a simple written scheme, as provided in guide L214. A technician could carry this out, unless an employer decides otherwise. Steam engines should only be used by science department staff that have received appropriate instruction (eg, they are familiar with this leaflet). The simplest stationary steam engines are best for teaching. These (and spare parts) are available from science education suppliers. This leaflet shows the popular Mamod model SP4 (www.mamod.co.uk). A similar engine is the Wilesco model D6 (www.wilesco.de). A small electric generator (often a dc motor working as a generator) is also shown. This can produce enough electricity to operate a voltmeter, light emitting diodes or a small filament lamp. Safety checks • Always carry out checks 1 to 5 below, before using a model steam engine. • If the engine is unusual or very old, check with CLEAPSS before use1. 1. Ensure that the steam engine will not vibrate across the bench when it is running. Fixing the engine to a plywood baseboard is recommended. A G-clamp could be used to secure the unit to the bench. 2. Check the whole engine for signs of corrosion or damage. -
Road Locomotion
APRIL1900. 185 ROAD LOCOMOTION. BY PROFFSSORH. S. HELE-SHAW, LL.D., F.R.S., Menzher, OF LIVERPOOL. There are strong reasons for thinking that the subject of mechanical propulsion upon common roads has now reached a point when it deserves the very careful consideration of mechanical engineers. The idea of bringing the matter generally before the Institution for discussion is due to our President, whose far-reaching judgment will be admitted by all. The title of this Paper must be admitted to be very comprehensive, but it seems that what is ueeded at this time is a discussion of the general principles of the engineering features of the question, rather than a detailed description of any particular system. For many years the uses and importance of the traction engine have become more and more recognised, and its possibilities in connection with the present war have quite recently been brought very strongly before the public. This engine, the work of which covers only a portion of the field for mechanical propulsion on roads, has been very fully dealt with before this Institution and elsewhere, and it will be in the first place instructive to consider what has led to a general revival of a movement for lighter road-locomotives which about seventy years ago, in the days of Hancock and Gurney, reached a point that for a time appeared to be leading to permanent results of the most important kind, but which ended in complete failure. In one sense this revival is undoubtedly due to the passing of the Locomotives on Highways Act in 1896, previous to which, for more than twenty years, a law had existed, popularly known as the “Man with the Red Flag” Downloaded from pme.sagepub.com at The University of Auckland Library on June 4, 2016 186 ROAD LoaoMomoN. -

Instructed by Richard Sandercock Esq In the matter of his retirement sale. Note: the Fairground Heritage Trust Attraction goes on from strength to strength and is in no way affected by this sale. Auction of Steam Engines, Vehicles, Workshop Machinery and consumables Antique & Vintage Items, Books, literature & Bygones 2nd Revision All lot numbers for lots presently identified will remain the same but pictures and further lots may be added Saturday 21st October 2017 DINGLES FAIRGROUND HERITAGE CENTRE, MILFORD, LIFTON, DEVON, PL16 0AT Sale will commence at 10:00am prompt Directions: Follow the brown signs to Dingles Heritage Fairground from the A30 2 miles East of Lifton Village. (SatNav PL16 0AT) www.kivells.com FOREWORD This would have been the 25th annual collective auction to be held at Milford farm by Kivells in conjunction with Richard Sandercock. Richard purchased the strategically well placed Milford Farm in 1991 with the intention of opening his steam collection to the public in the first museum buildings and utilising the workshop facilities to relocate his R. Dingle & Sons contracting business from their historical site in Stoke Climsland. The museum evolved into what is now The Fairground Heritage Trust collection and visitor attraction and the workshop was to become a centre of excellence for the repair and rebuilding of steam engines with Clive Gibbard working under Richard’s direction. Clive has recently retired and moved away and Richard has decided the moment is right to close the workshop business and sell the equipment and stores. That raised the question of who would look after his long cherished engine Conqueror. -
IL Combo Ndx V2
file IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE The Quarterly Journal of THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE SOCIETY COMBINED INDEX of Volumes 1 to 7 1976 – 1996 IL No.1 to No.79 PROVISIONAL EDITION www.industrial-loco.org.uk IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 INTRODUCTION and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This “Combo Index” has been assembled by combining the contents of the separate indexes originally created, for each individual volume, over a period of almost 30 years by a number of different people each using different approaches and methods. The first three volume indexes were produced on typewriters, though subsequent issues were produced by computers, and happily digital files had been preserved for these apart from one section of one index. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 3 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project was recruited from the membership of the Society, and grateful thanks are undoubtedly due to the major players in this exercise – Paul Burkhalter, John Hill, John Hutchings, Frank Jux, John Maddox and Robin Simmonds – with a special thankyou to Russell Wear, current Editor of "IL" and Chairman of the Society, who has both helped and given encouragement to the project in a myraid of different ways. None of this would have been possible but for the efforts of those who compiled the original individual indexes – Frank Jux, Ian Lloyd, (the late) James Lowe, John Scotford, and John Wood – and to the volume index print preparers such as Roger Hateley, who set a new level of presentation which is standing the test of time. -

Introduction ”Stafford” is a large, robustly-engineered locomotive which, whilst not intended as a scale model, is based on typical industrial engine practice of the early twentieth century. Our aim has been to produce a powerful engine which is reliable and easy to maintain. The engine weighs 430 pounds and requires careful handling to avoid injury – mechanical handling, using a hydraulic lifting bench and ramps etc is highly recommended, the engine cannot easily be handled or lifted manually. Terms used in this manual Throughout this manual, right hand means the right hand side of the engine from the driver's point of view – so, for example, the reversing lever is on the right hand side, the brake handle on the left. 2. The new engine Your new engine will be delivered assembled, tested and ready to run. It will have been run on compressed air in our workshop to check valve setting then steamed prior to despatch to check operation of injectors and the safety valve. 3. Controls The engine controls are as follows: Regulator on right of fountain, opens counter-clockwise, closes clockwise Injector steam valves -
Instruction Manual - D&RGW K-27 Live Steam
Instruction Manual - D&RGW K-27 Live Steam ACCUCRAFT TRAINS 33268 Central Avenue Union City, CA 94587 Tel: (510) 324-3399 Fax: (510) 324-3366 [email protected] D&RGW K-27 2-8-2 #463 Instruction Manual - D&RGW K-27 Live Steam Introduction This locomotive is a model of a K-27, one of fifteen ordered by the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad in 1902 and delivered in 1903. The Rio Grande numbered them Nº 450 through Nº 464. The “K” designation was the Rio Grandeʼs code for a Mikado, or 2-8-2. The “27” referred to the locomotiveʼs tractive effort, in this case 27,000 pounds. Only two K-27s remain today, one in Michigan, running on the Huckleberry Railroad, and one running on the famous Cumbres & Toltec line in Northern New Mexico/Southern Colorado. Operating a model live-steam locomotive is much different from running an electrically powered engine. It is a more hands-on, interactive experience. The locomotive must be periodically fueled, oiled, and watered. As supplied, the K-27 is manually controlled, which means that you must actually drive the locomotive using the controls in the cab, just as you would a full-size engine. The performance of the engine is also unlike electric locomotives. The K-27 should pull a dozen or more standard-size freight cars on good, level track. Grades and sharp curves will diminish its capability. A good engineer will learn the engineʼs characteristics and idiosyncra- sies over time, to get the best performance and longest duration from it. -

Steam Engine & Auxiliaries Collection Bergen County
REGIONAL MECHANICAL ENGINEERING HERITAGE COLLECTION STEAM ENGINE & AUXILIARIES COLLECTION AT THE BERGEN COUNTY TECHNICAL SCHOOL STATIONARY ENGINEERING STEAM LABORATORY HACKENSACK, NEW JERSEY MAY 21, 1994 The American Society of Mechanical Engineers PREFACE This collection of heritage steam engines, locomotives, and auxiliaries represents goals that were set by the students of Bergen Tech in addition to obtaining their general education diploma in Stationary Engineering. The extra curriculum work of overhauling, rebuilding, and painting all these artifacts has provided students with a real appreciation of steam engines, boilers, tools, auxiliary equipment, and safety. They also can say: “I reworked that worn out antique engine; it looks good, runs good, and it is something that I’m proud of.” Each new project that the students complete adds a well-preserved artifact to Bergen Tech’s Stationary Engineering Laboratory collection. We congratulate theBergen County Technical Schools faculty for their foresight in having the students recover these old artifacts. Special thanks to the many donors and collectors who have given these artifacts and other assistance to Bergen Tech. To Frank Vopasek and his instructors–“It’s a job well done!” Beal P. Moore History & Heritage Chairman North Jersey Section SECTION I Bergen County Technical School established its Stationary Engineering Course in 1952. It obtained five steam boilers of 748 horsepower, total capacity on. Presently it has four boilers of 1,200 horsepower capacity. The historic equipment collection was established in 1987 when engines 1, 2, 3, and 4 were installed by the engineering students as a training exercise. Since its establishment, the collection has grown to be recognized as one of the most outstanding displays of steam equipment in the United States.
