Steam locomotives can in fact go much faster than 125 to 126 mph.

If the PRR T1s can reach 140 mph(224 km/h), or the S1 can hit 156 mph(249.6 km/h). Then, there is only a sentence to say, "so much for slow and weak steam locomotives".

I still say a speed rocord doesn't _really_ count if you break the damn loco in the effort. Which they did. Smashed the backplate of the middle cylinder, or something like that, couldn't handle that kind of speed (of course it was like 30mph faster than it was intended to _ever_ go)
@DeCasoU16 жыл бұрын
Well it does count, and the engine was not really broken, though it was designed for fast running. The middle big end overheated. They were still learning about high speed running, the steam was shut off fully in the need to slow down, this was later proved to be a mistake, though in the circumstances perhaps a necessary one. The resultant absence of cushioning steam to absorb the loadings due to inertia of the motion caused the problem. The same problem occurred elsewhere in the world too. The engine had the offending bearing re-metalled at New England shed in Peterborough. It then went to Doncaster for a full examination to be carried out and the engine was back in full service 9 days later. There was to be another attempt on the record in September 1939, the engine was expected to achieve 130 mph on the 1938 run but a speed restriction through Grantham on the day presented an unwanted obstacle. WW2 presented another to the 1939 plan.
@_Zekken Жыл бұрын
It overheated a bearing, but still completed the trip under her own steam and didnt need to be towed. I wouldnt call that "breaking" anything. Also they did it on their literal first attempt. WW2 squashed hopes of trying again, it could have gone faster without damaging anything due to teething issues with what was still a new design if they had a few more goes at it.
