Read MoreValentin Purrey of Bordeaux were leading manufacturers of steam lorries, and specialised in vertical boilers. The distinctive front-end design is reminiscent of the early wind-splitting locomotives of the early 1880's, which had sharp-edged front ends in an attempt at streamlining.

Doble steam-car boiler: donkey boiler: A donkey boiler is used to supply non-essential steam to a ship for 'hotel' services such as heating or lighting when the main boilers are not in steam, for example, when in
Read MoreRaul is based on a series of three vertical-boiler steam locomotives built by Sentinel in 1931 for the São Paulo Railway. The real engine carrying his number was in service at the Amsted Maxion railway equipment factory in Cruzeiro, Brazil from 1959 until October 2014. In 2015, it and classmate 167 were preserved by the ABPF; the third engine

Read MoreAs weight and power and length increased, there were experiments with flexible boiler casings; from 1910 the Santa Fe road introduced Liming-2 locomotives weighing 392,000 lb (178,000 kg), with a 37 feet (11.28 m) long boiler barrel, with a firetube reheater and a
Read MoreLeft: Sentinel vertical-boiler locomotive LNER type Y1: 1925-27. Twenty-four of these locomotives in standard gauge were built for the LNERfrom 1925 to 1927, and then passed on to British Railwaysin 1948. Unlike the dual-engine Sentinels, both the engine and the boiler were inside the cab.
Read MoreA high-pressure steam locomotive is a steam locomotive with a boiler that operates at pressures well above what would be considered normal. In the later years of steam, boiler pressures were typically 200 to 250 psi (1.38 to 1.72 MPa). High-pressure locomotives can be considered to start at 350 psi (2.41 MPa), when special construction

This is one of three locomotives built by Alexander Chaplin & co delivered in 1874 to Beckton Gasworks east of London which were variously described as "The largest gasworks in Europe" or "The largest gasworks in the world".
Read MoreThe Mallet locomotive is a type of articulated steam railway locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (1837–1919). The articulation was achieved by supporting the front of the locomotive on an extended Bissel truck. The compound steam system fed steam at boiler pressure to high-pressure cylinders driving the main set of

Read MoreVertical Boiler Locomotives - Douglas Self Many steam locomotives have been built with vertical boilers, though horizontal boilers are greatly in the majority. A vertical boiler allowed a locomotive to be built on a short and narrow wheelbase, allowing it to negotiate the tight curves and narrow gauge tracks typically found in industrial railways.
Read MoreBoiler control was largely automatic, and the two locomotives could be connected together into a multiple unit, both controlled from a single cab. The boiler was oil-fired, and the fuel was "Bunker C" heavy fuel oil, the same fuel used in large vessels, and also the fuel which was later used in Union Pacific's gas turbine-electric locomotives .
