The United Kingdom does in fact have a dog in this fight, in the form of Gresley's U1. Even in the post steam era not many things surpassed it in terms of tractive effort!

[@keiranallcott1515]

Dear history in the dark , great video , two things that I would like to add about the ad60 Garratts, 6029 is about to run to the blue mountains with 3801. When they were ordered , we had on the nswgr , the d57 and d58 class which matched the garratts in terms of power output but were too heavy for branch lines. And curtains lines , such as the short north to Newcastle , where garratts were used for the big coal trains from fassifern. I’m a bit surprised that the Canadian 2-10-4 or i believe there are known as the seirkirk locomotives didn’t make the list.

[@bayernbahn1549]

Um yes, I'm completely speechless! Belgium!? But it would be somehow cool to see the locomotive as a replica. Oh yes, the video was of course great as always and I think almost everyone could learn something!

[@kisarabanuja3254]

Is nobody gonna talk about the LNER U1 garratts, it was the most powerful steam locomotive in Great Britain (possibly in Europe). I feel the Brits could have had a chance to be in the list after all.

72,940lbs of tractive effort, should be ahead of that ghastly AA-20

[@crocowithaglocko5876]

​@@MercenaryPenso? I'd not heard of the Class 45 before today 9r the AD60. As he's covered the U1 before, your defence is laughable.

[@sawspitfire422]

I feel it makes sense no British locos ended up here. First of all our routes have very short distances between major junctions and stations compared to USA and Australia. Secondly our hills simply aren't as big as other places. The steepest grades on UK mainlines are only sustained for 5 miles or less, the famous Lickey incline only being 2 miles. Speed and acceleration has always been a more pressing factor for British rails than sheer slogging tractive effort, especially since even in the age of steam passenger travel made up a large portion of traffic on the lines. Even freight jobs had to perform quick dashes between sidings to clear the main for express passenger trains across a lot of the network, it's just how our railways were run. Edit: except LNER U1 which should be in second place on this list.... I mean if AA-20 is here U1 should be too

[@markbarrile2930]

I think one of the major factors limiting UK freight loco power was the lack of braked goods rolling stock. Having a loco that could drag a 1000 ton train wasn't much good it you couldn't stop it. Add to that the much smaller loading gauge that restricted having big big cylinders and the UK loco's were always going to be lower powered than their US or Australian contemporaries. That said, as far as efficiency and speed, UK stuff has it hands down. Long live the Duchess!

[@TheHoveHeretic]

At 72,940lbs TE, the U1 just gotta be an omission. Is one loco a 'class'? Edit: with 78, 940lbs @75% BP, surprised the SAR Class GL 4-8-2+2-8-4 didn't make the cut. A great example of what happens when a Garratt is designed by people who know what they're doing (Yes, LMS Garratts .... I'm looking at you), the GL class retired in the early 1970s, with over 40 years of the heaviest traffic on the SAR behind 'em .... and even then, only because there wasn't any work left needing steam haulage.

The Victorian Railways H class, Heavy Harry H 220, may have the others beat on the basis of the 3,600 HP recorded at 50 mph with a dynamometer car on a test run. Pity the other 3 planned H class were not built and the streamlining planned not proceeded with in war time conditions. Written by someone who climbed into the massive firebox and the huge water space of the tender of H 220 as a kid in the newly opened North Williamstown Railway Museum near me. Not that you can do that sort of thing anymore.

[@PiersDJackson]

From a "What if..." perspective, if VR had continued with their intentions for the construction of minimum four H classes and an additional six S classes... to be named: S304 George Bass, S305 Hamilton Hume, S306 John Batman, S307 John Pascoe Fawkner, S308 Sir Redmond Barry, and S309 William Lonsdale; H220 George Higginbotham, H221 Sir Ferdinand Von Mueller, H222 Peter Lalor, and H223 Alfred Deakin. If you wonder why they're these names? They're the next names in the replacement S class Diesel-Electrics... then swapping over to the H for the "second series".

The strongest steam locomotive I'm aware of from outside of the USA was a 4-8-2-2-8-4 Garratt built by Beyer Peackock for the Soviets. It had around 90,000 lbs of tractive effort, and I think it was also the largest steam locomotive in Europe at the time.

[@TheHoveHeretic]

That one seems to have died a quiet death in the Soviet Union. AFAIK, not other Garratt trod SZD rails. Garratts always seemed better suited to warmer climes!

[@PiersDJackson]

Along the lines of Garratts, David Wardale was contracted to do his development magic, for the Chinese Government Railways. In an effort to stop doubleheading of QJ class locomotives, he proposed building a Garratt reusing components of two QJ's. It is surmised that a prototype was built, but did not proceed due to government changes, and Wardle moving on. It would have been a 2-10-2+2-10-2, with four cylinders of 25.59" × 31.50" each, with a new build 94" diameter boiler, 132 ft² firebox, at 255psi, and mechanical stoker. The projected output was 126,470 lbf tractive effort and between 4950 Hp and 7150 Hp...

[@henrywang3977]

I'd like to see more Chinese engines in your channel. There are some good examples. China designed a freight locomotive based on soviet FD engine and AV engine. The interesting thing is... it has more tractive power than AA20. Both engines has 20t axis load, one is 4-12-4 and 208t in engine weight, another is 2-10-2 and 134t in engine weight. AA20 is designed to have 320kN tractive effort, which it has never reached in actual use. While Qianjin has a 340kN tractive effort, although being a small engine comparing to American monster locomotives. It's designed to have 2980 horsepower, brought by well-designed firebox capable to chewing down almost any kind of coal better than lignite and peat, and sometimes may exceed the designed power output when running in good conditions. One of the commonly used tricks back in Mao era, was that the mechanical stoker can be turned off, switching to manual mode will save extra steam energy used to run the locomotive itself, therefore making the engine consume less coal or generate more power. I'm sure it deserves having a seat among most powerful non-American steam locomotives. And although desgined as a feright locomotive, with only 1.5m wheel diameter, Qianjin has a maximum speed of 85km/h, capable to be put in passenger service. And it was widely used in passenger service until 1990s. I guess it should be one the best cost efficient locomotive types. And I heard that Qianjin is the most fuel efficient one among mass-produced locomotives. There was a plan to further improve its power and efficiency, by introducing the same technology used on South Africa 25NC. And there was actually one engine (QJ-8001) made in this way. But such modification would hurt the cost efficiency, with limited improvements in the already good enough combustion efficiency and power output, and will not improve the tractive effort which is already near the physical ceiling of friction force brought by weight. And it's already 1987, only one years till the last of this type rolling down the assembly line in China, making way for the time of diesels and electrics, so the plan is shelved forever. There were 4714 Qianjin locomotives manufactured from 1956 to 1988 in total, including early prototypes and altered types and exportations.

Since Canada Isn't part of the USA I'll add my nomination here. The Canadian Pacific K1a 4-8-4 Northerns 3100 & 3101 built by CPR's Angus shops in 1928. By all accounts they were well designed locomotives and their performance was great the only downside they had was their large weight restricting their route availability. The tractive effort on these two engines was 60800 lbs, BUT they were equipped with booster trucks that gave an additional 12000 lbs of force for a total of 72800 lbs. I think they would have fit in nicely but that's just my opinion. On a side note both engines made it into preservation.

Great video, however there is another Australian loco that drops into this top 5 and might mean the poor old German giant drops off. The NSWGR D57 class. These 228 ton 3 cylinder 4.8.2 locomotives are rated as having a tractive effort of between 56000 and 62000 lbs (apparently some had 200 psi boilers and some had 220 psi boilers but I can't find that confirmed anywhere). There is 1 remaining in static preservation. However like Heavy Harry H220, it's axle load would very much limit any operational use so a return to service is very unlikely.
