5 Locomotives That Were Too Big | History in the Dark

Size is certainly a factor in many situations. But sometimes it is quite possible for something to simply be far too large for the job. This happens way more often with trains than you'd think.

Unlimited power for the S1? Last time I checked, there's a meme about the thing having the power of a Berkshire.

[@andrewlucia865]

For a purely dedicated passenger locomotive, that is still impressive. It had the highest tractive effort of any dedicated passenger steam locomotive built at the time at over 76,000 lbs., and generated over 7,000 Horsepower. Given that Berkshires in the US were primarily heavy freight engines (though they could get up to a good clip of speed), it's actually a rather favorable comparison, given that a dedicated passenger locomotive with much larger drivers (larger drivers reduce effective tractive effort) can pull as much as a heavy freight locomotive can, and generate enough power to get up to over 100 MPH on the regular (most Berkshires topped out at around 80). Could it have pulled more? Possibly, with some design revisions. As it was, however, the S1 is still the most powerful dedicated passenger steam locomotive built.

11:19, the 9000's were unconventional but successful, the prototype (9000, preserved at the rail giants museum in LA) was actually better at taking curves than people give it credit for, it was tested over sherman hill in 1926 and performed just fine, 9000's continued to run over sherman hill on occasion for the rest of their careers, and 9000 ran under her own steam to come to California were she is today, over cajon pass, again without issue, they were originally delivered with the #3 and #4 driving axels blind, but ALCO's lateral motion devices meant that blind drivers were completely unnecessary for the 9000's, just some fun facts.

[@jordanalexander615]

People also fail to realize that they removed the third cylinders from the 9000s once they saw how much of a nightmare they were for maintenance. Which solved the biggest issue and continued to run just fine and even introduced roller bearings to make it ride even better and last longer.

[@michaelmclachlan1650]

Yes, but there were only 6 of them and the LMS disliked small non-standard classes; the London Tilbury and Southend Railway 4-6-4T's (8 built), Furness Railway 4-6-4T's (5 built) and Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway 4-6-4T's (10 built) were all scrapped as well, essentially when they required replacement of major components or ran out of spare boilers.

Might I suggest adding Richard Trevithick's Coalbrookdale locomotive. OK sure it was an 0-4-0 narrow gauge locomotive so small the fireman had to stand on the tender. However it was also the largest locomotive in the world at the time (being that it was the ONLY locomotive in the world at the time). It demonstrated the potential of steam locomotives to surpass horse drawn tramways. Unfortunately it also demonstrated the ability of steam locomotives to hammer the cast iron rail of the day into tiny bits of scrap metal. It had to be retired to become a stationary boiler for the coal mine due to the rail smashing tendencies.

[@lonewolf4215]

So it would have been, the largest, smallest, heaviest, longest, shortest, most powerful, least powerful, tallest and shortest all at once

[@telhudson863]

The New Zealand E Class was actually a success. NZ track gauge is only 1 metre (3' 3") and providing high powered locos is a problem. The E Class were superseded by 2-4-4-2 Fairley engines and 2-6-6-2 Garratts. The problem wasn't duplex or the size. The problem was that they weren't perfect and something better became available.

[@theromanorder]

So, it Wasn't nessacarly "to big" but for what they were worth, the PRR-G5s were absolute chonkers. They are also of course the largest (mass-produced) ten-wheelers ever built. On top of that, they were absolutely beautiful.

[@williamsquires3070]

I don’t know if the B&O class N-1 was too big, but it may have been too weird. Better to just make an ordinary 4-8-4; that was a popular wheel arrangement, and pretty successful, too. A lot of (U.S.) preserved steam is of this wheel arrangement; N&W Class-J #611, U.P. FEF-3, AT&SF #3751, Espee’s GS-4, need I go on?

[@muir8009]

The worlds most efficient and highest horsepower for loco weight was of course the incomparable chapelon 2-d-2. Such a ground breaker and such a shame only one was made, but the SNCF did make the right move with electrification. Also even little NZ has 4 4-8-4's preserved

[@JBofBrisbane]

The NZR E class was not only a duplex, its cylinders were Vauclain compounds.

[@TheTrainspotterFromTauranga]

The NZR E class (a.k.a E 66) had tiny driving wheels because they were reused from withdrawn F class 0-6-0 saddle tanks. I also got the impression that the section on E 66 wasn't well researched. Allow me to add further context. She was built to help the H class 0-4-2 Fell locomotives on the Rimutaka Incline, a 3 mile section of 1 in 15 track across the Rimutaka Ranges between the Hutt Valley and Wairarapa regions. At the time, the workload was reaching the H class' limit, so they needed a big engine to assist. The incline was notable for its use of the Fell centre rail, specialist locomotives and brakevans. The trouble with E 66, at least from the crew's perspective, was the excessive heat in the cab due to the firebox not having a brick arch or backplate. E 66 was unusual because she was New Zealand's only eight-cylinder steam locomotive, as she reused Vauclain Compound cylinders that were meant to be used on N class 2-6-2s, but that project was cancelled after N 27 - the prototype conversion - proved unsuccessful. She didn't last long on the Rimutaka Incline, and was transferred to Wellington around 1912, where she was used as a banker for trains going up the mainline via Johnsonville. She was poorly suited to this job because it involved much higher speeds than what she was designed for, and by 1917 she had been withdrawn from service.

[@octopus1066]

2 insteresting facts about duplexs and the whole idea. For one, no duplex had flangless wheels. I remember talking to a british train railfan who had worked on steam engines all his life and he told me he heard of our big single weld bois and said they would have worked if we would have made a driver or 2 drivers flangless like they did on there engines. Which shockingly enough a lot of british engines have one or 2 divers that are flangless but could rip the track up as speed demons. the 2nd fact i found out and couldn't help but laugh to death, the C&O had barrowed 2 T1s and used them on fast freight and passengers and fucking fell in love with the concept and said they never wheelslipped when they were being used. Which made the penny boys shocked and upset because as this is pretty much C&O saying "Your boys can't drive for shit." XD

[@Skyfire_The_Goth]

Flangeless drivers are called blind drivers, and a lot of U.S. steam locomotives have them as well. If the locomotive has a long wheel base, a lot of times, especially on railroads with a lot of curves, and narrow gauge railroads, the first and last set of drivers have the flange while drivers between them do not. What blind drivers do is allow the locomotive to negotiate tighter curves than if all wheels have flanges, blind drivers are also thicker than the flanged wheels to allow them to slide back and forth over the rails on curves but not fall off the rails.

[@Amarouq2]

I remember reading that the wheel slippage on the T-1's was due to Pennsy engineers being used to driving the K-4 which, at the time, was horribly underpowered for the train length and equipment size being used. Earlier in the K-4's life there were no problems but as time went on they were needed to pull trains that far exceeded what they were designed to, hence the crews manhandling then into working. The T-1 outpaced them so much the crews were not used to the amount of power they had and just treated them like K-4's thus the wheel slip issues reported.

[@octopus1066]

@@Skyfire_The_Goth did not know all that until recently this year (thanks to finding hyce channel) and learning that. my question is this tho, why they didn't do that to the penny big bois and girls as that would have really really helped them out! I believe if they do that with the 5550. it would help her a lot more then normal!!

[@metal_wheels]

Not all monsters of a tank engines are bad. The F10 2-12-2T Javanic locos from Indonesia were a massive lot. They had 6 driving axles (12 driving wheels) in which had some of the wheels flangeless. They were designated to run on heavy goods through the steep Parahyangan mountains, to replace the Mallets which are very hard to maintain. Maintenance on the F10s were much more easier however, but was found to have problems on the curvey-tracks of the mountain lines. They were soon relocated to the grounds (also on heavy goods) and was found to be a massive success. 2 are currently preserved.

[@iankemp1131]

A bit odd to include the NZR E class which was just a single experimental locomotive. Its problem was not that it was too big, but that it didn't produce power and efficiency comparable with its size, plus the unusual firebox referred to. It was built for the very steep Rimutaka incline (1 in 13, worked on the Fell system) where more power was definitely needed. It was a Mallet compound and this type of engine worked elsewhere with success (in fact the US Big Boy was a Mallet).

[@muir8009]

Big boy was of course an articulated, not a mallet but that's irrelevant. E66 wasn't experimental, it was a class unto itself, just a single example. Remember the first Q class was 2 locomotives, Bc was one, Wj was one etc, we're talking NZ. The only thing experimental was the Vanderbilt suspension furnace, and it was a fair swag more powerful than the purpose built H. Btw, the incline was 1:15 with a touch of 1:14 near Siberia. Like all the trials on the incline they all hauled more than the fell H, just were maintenance heavy and less economical.

Interesting the inclusion of Pearsons Dream, AKA E66 from the NZR. I think you have already had several comments around the history of this engine, so no point in reiterating their points. But NZGR did buy engines that were simply too big for the rolling stock they had at the time about 10-12 years after the demise of Pearsons Dream. The 3 Garratt "G" class engines were too big. They broke the rather weak couplings with ease, and they tended to break themselves quite easily too. Mechanical stokers and soft coal didn't seem a good combination as well as the 3 cylinder Gresley gear they were fitted with (the three cylinder configuration was not encouraged by the manufacturer). Eventually they were converted to 6 pacific arrangement locos but still with the gresley gear that caused all sorts of issues

[@JohnDavies-cn3ro]

Like the German officer who asked an American commander to explain 'nuts', I don't understand modern American slang. What on earth is a chungus? (Don't bother, if rude). The NZR loco with Hagen valve gear is interesting - the Saxony State narrow gauge railways had a number of engines similar to this - the idea with it was to allow a long, rigid wheelbase engine with many wheels to 'sort of' articulate or flex so as to round curves. Yes, it did work, but, yes, it was also incredibly complicated. Fortunately someone discovered easier and better ways of achieving the same objective.

[@JohnDavies-cn3ro]

PS - the other New Zealand 'big tank', the 2-6-6-2 - was that actually an articulated locomotive? I think that type of locomotive was known as a 'Kitson-Meyer' (It doesn't get mentioned in David Joy's book "Engines That Bend", though others do.) and, as regards this example, was clearly a Vauclain Compound. The Saxon engines I referred to above had Klose valve gear. It seemed to suit Bosnia, where some worked until recently, but wasn't too successful in Saxony. There was also another variety of 'Duplex' - something akin to a Meyer, produced for logging railroads in America, by a firm named Vulcan. I have a feeling not many were built. (Apologies for any errors, I'm working from memory.) Give me a good Beyer Garratt any day........
