Brake blocks pulled onto the wheels. Slide 6 of 324 Vacuum brakes Or consider it another way. A “vacuum” is effectively nothing. Therefore, the vacuum brake system is actually a direct air brake using air at atmospheric pressure. Air pressure This will be explained further..

  • The First Garratt Locomotive in the Netherlands
    The first Garratt locomotive in the Netherlands By H. Brunner ME Translation ©2015 by René F. Vink, Netherlands In this article1 the reasons are mentioned that made the Limburg Tramway Co Ltd decide to purchase a "Garratt" locomotive. Furthermore a description is given of the acquired locomotive. General. In December 1931 a "Garratt" locomotive of 71.5 t [70.4 long ton] service weight was putinto service by the Limburg Tramway Co Ltd on her 26 km [16 mi] long line Maastricht-Vaals (fig. 1). Fig. 1. The Garratt locomotive In 1909 the Australian H.W. Garratt († 1913) obtained the patents on his engine type, with which the boiler was freely and completely accessible located on a frame that rested with pivots on a bogie each of which contained a separate locomotive engine. By locating the supply bunkers for water and coal on the bogie units, he diminished the tendency of the latter to rotate around their horizontal centers of gravitation at higher speeds as a consequence of the not fully counter balanced reciprocating masses of the components of the motion. Thus they contribute to the riding stability of the locomotive. He could increase the evaporative ability of the boiler almost at will because the dimensions of the boiler, the fire grate and the ash pan were no longer restricted by the tight dimensions and unfavourable restrictions of coupled wheels and water tanks. 1 This is a translation of the article that appeared in issue 35 of the Dutch magazine "De Ingenieur" (The Mechanical Engineer) in 1932. Some considerations apply to this translation - I followed the UK English spelling.

  • The Design of the Proposed 5AT High-Speed 4-6-0 Locomotive
    The Design of the Proposed 5AT High-speed 4-6-0 Locomotive by D. Wardale, B.Sc.(Mech. Eng.) 1. The aim of this paper is to set down the rationale behind the concept and principal details of the 5AT. 2. Origin. The genesis of the 5AT was an example given in the present writer’s 1998 book The Red Devil and Other Tales from the Age of Steam showing to what degree the performance of 1950’s steam traction could have surpassed that of contemporary BR locomotives by better design. The Class 5 4-6-0 was taken as the quintessential latter-day British type, and performance curves estimated from results achieved on the South African Railways with rebuilt 4-8-4 No. 3450 were given showing that this relatively small locomotive could have delivered some 25% more drawbar power than larger 4-6-2’s if its detail design had been improved according to then-available knowledge. The first important factor is thus established, i.e. significantly better performance can be obtained from a given mass of hardware than hitherto thought possible, this corresponding to the general trend in power generation engineering and allowing smaller locomotives for a given duty. From the power capacity viewpoint, such a medium-size 4-6-0 would have been more than adequate for any former 4-6-2 duty. 3. This idea was aired in the article Whither Steam Now? (Steam Railway magazine, April 1998) when it was suggested that steam would have to improve if it was to continue indefinitely in mainline excursion service on a railway where operating standards are, of necessity, becoming ever more stringent.

  • A Diesel Locomotive Is a Type of Railway Locomotive in Which the Prime Mover Is a Diesel Engine
    A diesel locomotive is a type of railway locomotive in which the prime mover is a diesel engine. Several types of diesel locomotive have been developed, differing mainly in the means by which mechanical power is conveyed to the driving wheels (drivers). The InterCity 125, the current confirmed record holder as the fastest diesel-powered train at 148 mph (238 km/h); is made up of two power cars, one at each end of a fixed formation of carriages; capable of 125 mph (201 km/h) in regular service.

  • Vaccum Braking.Pdf
    Vaccum Brake System The vacuum brake is a braking system employed on trains and introduced in the mid-1860s. A variant, the automatic vacuum brake system, became almost universal in British train equipment and in those countries influenced by British practice. Vacuum brakes also enjoyed a brief period of adoption in the USA, primarily on narrow gauge railroads. However, its limitations caused it to be progressively superseded by compressed air systems starting in the United Kingdom from the 1970s onward. The vacuum brake system is now obsolete; it is not in large-scale usage anywhere in the world, supplanted in the main by air brakes. Moving train contains energy, known as kinetic energy, which needs to be removed from the train in order to cause it to stop. The simplest way of doing this is to convert the energy into heat. The conversion is usually done by applying a contact material to the rotating wheels or to discs attached to the axles. The material creates friction and converts the kinetic energy into heat. The wheels slow down and eventually the train stops. The material used for braking is normally in the form of a block or pad.Vacuum brakes were a big step forward in train safety. Overview In the earliest days of railways, trains were slowed or stopped by the application of manually applied brakes on the locomotive and in brake vehicles through the train, and later by steam power brakes on locomotives. This was clearly unsatisfactory, but the technology of the time did not easily offer an improvement.
