World's largest working triple-expansion steam engine.

A ride in the Morris Minor to Kempton Steam Museum. Industrial history museum with a massive, working 1920s steam engine. ‪@kemptonsteammuseum3122‬

There are TWO working triple expansion engines on the TSS Earnslaw, a steamer on Lake Wakatipu in NZ, launched in 1912. The engines produce 500 hp at 145 rpm (each or both together?) and the boilers are coal fired. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TSS_Earnslaw

How do they even make such large engine blocks, what kind of factory is required? This blows my mind.

[@adruvitpandit5816]

@Retired Bore WoW Casting iron of this scale? Though i hear that cast iron is brittle due to high carbon content.

[@TheBaritoneCrooner]

Aren’t these a variation of the engines that were in the Titanic and her sisters?

[@ClassicOilyMotors]

Yes that's correct.
