  • PACIFIC’ Coupling Rods Fitted to Tornado at Darlington Locomotive Works
    60163 Tornado 60163 Tornado 60163 Tornado THE A1 STEAM LOCOMOTIVE TRUST Registered Office, All Enquiries: Darlington Locomotive Works, Hopetown Lane, Darlington DL3 6RQ Hotline Answerphone: 01325 4 60163 E-mail: [email protected] Internet address: www.a1steam.com PRESS INFORMATION – PRESS INFORMATION - PRESS INFORMATION PR04/04 Monday 4 October 2004 MAJOR STEP FORWARD AS NEW STEAM LOCOMOTIVE BECOMES A ‘PACIFIC’ Coupling rods fitted to Tornado at Darlington Locomotive Works The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust, the registered charity that is building the first new mainline steam locomotive in Britain for over 40 years, today announced that No. 60163 Tornado is now a Pacific following the fitting of all four coupling rods to its six 6ft8in driving wheels (the name Pacific refers to the 4-6-2 wheel arrangement under the Whyte Notation of steam locomotive wheel arrangements) which now rotate freely together for the first time. 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.

    ARMAMENTS FIRMS, THE STATE PROCUREMENT SYSTEM, AND THE NAVAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IN EDWARDIAN BRITAIN Professor Roger Lloyd-Jones History Department, Sheffield Hallam University Dr. Myrddin John Lewis History Department, Sheffield Hallam University This article examines the relationship between Britain’s armament firms and the state’s procurement system, presenting a case for a Naval Industrial Complex (NIC) in the years immediately before the Great War. It argues that in Edwardian Britain a nuanced set of institutional networks were established between the Admiralty and a small elite group of armament manufacturers. The NIC demonstrates the close collaboration between the armament firms supplying the Admiralty and between the Admiralty and an elite group of private contractors. This article concludes that the NIC did not lead to profiteering by contactors, and they did supply the warships and naval ordnance that enabled Britain to out build Germany in the naval race. This paper examines the relationship in Britain between the armaments industry and the military institutions of the state during the years preceding the Great War, when there were intensifying international tensions, and concerns over Britain’s defense capabilities. Through an assessment of the War Office (WO) and Admiralty procurement system, we apply John Kenneth Galbraith’s theory that businesses may establish institutional networks as “countervailing powers” to mediate business-state relations and, thus, we challenge the proposition that the state acted as a “monopsonist,” dominating contractual relations with private armaments firms.’ We argue that during the years prior to the war, Britain’s Naval Industrial Complex (MC) involved a strengthening collaboration between the British Admiralty and the big armament firms.

    Doncaster's Wheels, Wings & Moving Things History | Health | Happiness Doncaster’s Wheels, Wings and Moving Things Introduction: Doncaster has a strong industrial and railway heritage; some of the most famous locomotives in the world were built and designed at ‘the Plant.’ Doncaster hosted one of the world’s first aviation meetings in 1909 and the first British fighter jets to be used in the Second World War, Gloster Meteors, were stationed at RAF Finningley, what is now a busy and expanding Robin Hood Airport. Ford cars also once rolled off production lines in the town. Perhaps you have your own memories of some of these great moving machines?

  • Union Pacific 844 4-8-4 FEF “Northern”
    True Sound Project for Zimo Sounds designed by Heinz Daeppen US Steam Page 1 Version 160328 Union Pacific 844 4-8-4 FEF “Northern” The Prototype The category FEF locomotives of the Union Pacific Railroad (UP), also known as class 800, are steam locomotives with the wheel arrangement 2'D2 '(Northern). In the total of 45 locomotives, there are three series of delivery or subclasses FEF 1 FEF 2 and FEF-3, where the FEF-2 and -3 differ in driving axels and cylinder diameter to the FEF-1. The last locomotive of this series, no. 844, was the last steam locomotive built for UP. It was never taken out of service and is kept operational by the UP today. In the late 1930s, the pulling loads on train operations were so large that the 2'D1 locomotives Class 7000 reached its limits. After the failure of such a locomotive, which happened to be pulling a train containing the official car of the US President, ALCO was commissioned to build a stronger engine, which could pull 20 coaches with 90 mph (145 km/h) on the flat. The first 20 locomotives were delivered 1937. They got the numbers 800-819 and the name FEF, which stood for "four-eight-four" (the wheel arrangement 4-8-4 in the Whyte notation). They had a driving wheels of 77 inches (1956 mm). The first driving axel was displaced laterally, so that despite a solid wheelbase of 6.7 m the locomotive could still handle the same radius curves . Despite the size of the locomotives only two cylinders were used, as was almost always common in the United States.
