    > g s J> ° "^ Q as : F7 lA-dh-**^) THE EVOLUTION OF THE STEAM LOCOMOTIVE (1803 to 1898.) BY Q. A. SEKON, Editor of the "Railway Magazine" and "Hallway Year Book, Author of "A History of the Great Western Railway," *•., 4*. 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.

They were unique amongst Garratts in being of the Compound type, a system not recommended by their designer, and having cylinders mounted at the inboard end of the power bogies. At the end of it’s service life, in 1947, K1 was repatriated to Gorton works where it was preserved until Beyer-Peacock closed the works in 1965. Now owned by the Ffestiniog railway and returned to service after an extensive restoration in 2004, K1 can now be seen at work on the Welsh Highland line. The kit is designed to be easy to build and comprises largely of a cast resin superstructure complemented by brass etches, sitting on top of two powered chassis of steel frames and brass stretchers which screw together with the addition of steel and Nickel-Silver valve gear.

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.

CN train journals are checked against the designed HPT requirements to ensure that the train has adequate power to adhere to a predetermined schedule. CN freight train M31451-28 (the train) was a mixed conventional train (equipped with head-end power) which originated in Edmonton, Alberta and was destined for Toronto, Ontario.
