Fowler’s Ghost also had other issues. The firebricks were a bad choice to retain heat, low heat capacity. Meaning they may get really hot, but they do store much heat energy… Fireless steam engines work much better - they use the superheated water as the heat storage. As steam is drawn from the boiler, some of the water flashes into steam, lowering the temperature of the water a tiny bit (and thus causing the pressure to drop a little bit), a cycle that can be repeated many times until the steam pressure is too low to use. To charge, they have a pipe with holes in the bottom of a cylindrical pressure vessel - no firebox, no flues etc -where hot, fresh steam is pumped into the boiler. Starting with a boiler half-full with cold water, they get to about 3/4 full (I understand) with steam and really hot water, and that allows them to work for ~2 hours. If you have onsite steam anyway, …

There is a file held in the National Railway Museum in York which contains the North Road works documentation about 10000. The single item which caused serious problems for the locomotive was a pipe. This pipe was supposed to supply the steam to the auxiliary equipment fitted to the engine. And it was too small at 1.5" i.d. and two pipes were recommended a; single 1.5" pipe for the injector and a 1.25" pipe for the combination ejector and other fittings. As originally built the auxiliary supply could not meet the demand of the injector which meant that the boiler would not steam well because it could not be supplied with sufficient water. It took a long time to identify this problem which proved to be a serious setback. As an experimental machine it was supposed to equal the power output of an A1 Pacific and design started in 1926 but it was Sept 1932 before it was proved that the engine consistently produced a full head of steam. So the boiler worked well and the records held show that this boiler gave little trouble, so quite where some writers obtained their material from we can only guess. The big issue was finding out how to work the engine as a compound and the LNER never quite got there because early 20th century testing results gave rise to incorrect conclusions. It was believed that the L.P. cut off should be fixed and the H.P. cut off adjusted to meet the demand and this was proved by Chapelon to be wrong and to be fair their was a school of thought (a minority) that also believed this to be the case. The H.P. cut off should be long (as much as 90%) with the L.P. cut off being adjusted to meet demand. 10000 was fitted with a Kylchap exhaust and data collected from the setting up tests for this shows that the idea of this machine being limited by design to equal the A1s was very mistaken. One engineer came up with a figure slightly under 4,000 hp. using the 90% H.P. cut off.

M-497 was never intended for passenger service. It was a test mule much like its Soviet counterpart. It did develop good data on running at high speeds on track that was not specially prepared. The conclusion was that, so long as the track was in reasonably good condition, and had been well-built to begin with (ie-with the much heavier load factors found in the US), there was no reason why a lightweight train couldn't safely run at high speeds without damaging itself or the track. The ride comfort, on the other hand, left a bit to be desired.

I think you're describing the M2 Automatic... which was a converted 4-8-0 intended for switching/marshaling service that could run "as long as a diesel" without a fireman or ash handling. It was not exactly a poster child for a road locomotive, although it pioneered the kind of chain-grate firing used on the N&W TE-1. The 'tribology' issue was unique to Leader's and Hartland Point's sleeves: you couldn't keep them unseized and steamtight at the same time, and the amount of oil necessary was an appreciable fraction of what a comparable diesel would burn...
@bionicgeekgrrl11 ай бұрын
He went to Ireland and created the turf burner and that was relatively successful. What came out of the workshop as leader was however not how bulleid originally designed it as well, as he designed it with oil firing in mind, which would have not required it to have the offset boiler and the consequent balance issues. Ultimately the decision had been made that diesel was the future by the time leader was getting trials, so it was seen at the time as a fools errand to go with it. Bulleid later said I believe that some of his designs were ahead of where material science needed to be and this contributed to some of the problems faced by his locomotives.

Union Pacific bought and successively operated a series of gas turbine-electric locomotives in the '50s and '60s. The fuel was a viscous petroleum oil called "bunker C", which at the time was in common use for firing marine steam turbine engines in ocean going ships. Bunker C was cheap and plentiful, and UP was happy with its gas turbines, but the price of bunker C was increasing over time making the gas turbines increasingly uneconomical to operate. Eventually the railroad retired them in favor of ever more powerful second generation diesels. Interestingly, Union Pacific experimented with a coal fired turbine-electric. The coal was carried in a separate tender unit which mechanically pulverized the coal into a fine powder which was then fed to the burner and hence through the turbine. The project was abandoned when it was discovered that fine unburned coal particles were eroding the turbine's blades.
@wizlish Жыл бұрын
Keep in mind that UP80/8080 was a follow-on to the very long and often interesting coal-burning experiments under John Yellott at Bituminous Coal Research. This has been covered by Eric Hirsimaki, iirc in the early 2000s. The ash issues alone were long-term showstoppers.

Just something to make the Decapod a little bit worse, there's some evidence to suggest the GER cheated on the trials. When the engine's design specs were put into a modern vehicle design software it's maximum acceleration was just short of the electric trains of the time, and significantly short of its recorded performance on the day. On the day of the trials the independent observer didn't ride on the train during the run, only observed the train before heading out, and there were several delays in heading off. It's entirely possible that after the offical observer left they took the balast (representing the weight of a full passenger load in the test train) out to make the train lighter allowing the engine to accelerate faster.
