    The old steam locomotives may have been less efficient than today's diesels and electric, but they certainly did have PRESENCE.

      Right, they were much less efficient. The best locomotives in the late '40s had about 8% thermal efficiency. The best diesels are about 60%

      I love everything about the steam engines and they're pretty big. I've been to the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois, and there are steam locomotives there, and it's definitely worth the trip. We had a field trip when my son was in the Cub Scouts.

    Let's not forget that the steam engine only ever became a success because of one Mr. Whitworth of gun manufacturing fame. He made honing possible for the barrels of his guns. This process of honing a perfect hole in metal made the steam engine really finally usable. Before all that, the loss of steam power was just too much. Once the cylinders were perfectly honed it really worked well.

    When I was 10 or 11yrs old, in the early 50's, there was a big steam engine train that came to our town to pick up wheat & corn, we'd lay by the tracks & put penny's on them & when the train passed over them they'd flattened out to 3 times there size, we'd talk to the Engineer asking him questions, one day I ask him how fast the train wld go, he told me it'd do about 125 miles per hour. WOW.!! that really impressed me, cuz 125 mph was really something fast for us.

    There's next to nothing of trains in New Zealand now, & those which are here, ain't cheap, & the cartridges are second hand, instead of made in NZ.

    The first steam locomotives did NOT depend on high pressure. Like the deep tin mine pumps that operated on vacuum to move the piston after the steam condensed. They did not have strong enough boilers until later.

    • @stringpicker5468
      @stringpicker5468 2 года назад +2

      None of these, such as those of Trevithick were ever practical locomotives. By the time of steam railways the James Watt principles had greatly increased the efficiency and Robert Stephenson's revolutionary use of the multi tube boiler ensured the required amount of steam. Boiler pressure steadily increased as steel became better understood.

      Not much of a risk. How many businesses and schools still have boilers heating the water to heat the building also?
      I own the fabulous book “TRAIN WRECKS ..For Fun and Profit” and it documents dozens of train wrecks and even when they held exhibition spectator events where they’d build a temporary track and then set 2 steam locomotives towards each other at full throttle. The engineer would jump off once he got the machine set to full throttle, and the crowd would watch the spectacular collision.
      Yet, to my surprise RARELY did the boilers ever explode. It can happen, when it does, the boiler looks like a spaghetti of small pipes (from inside). The infamous “Crash at Crush”, Texas was one that did explode catastrophically, injuring many and killing a few. There’s a few awesome photos of the moment of impact and then the moment of explosion perhaps 250ms later. Many RUclips videos on the Crash at Crush.

    I thought they were called "locomotives". "Train Engine" sounds like something redundant a 5 year old would come up with.

    How can you reuse a fantastic shot of an 1890's South African Locomotive running in a desert 4 times and not give a mention to them? Are we forgetting how important the railways were to the colonial expansion of the empire into Africa?

      No one maintains the museum now and it's gone to rack and ruin. Yes, it'd be great to still have it but I'd rather see it restored and running around the UK than rotting in the Pilbara. Also, Rio has no interest in doing anything but running income-producing ore trains and the Castle would take up space on the track and get in the way of said trains.

      That's not a tunnel boring machine but good geuss, it's called a rotary snowplow, it's basically a big snow blower, there's still one operation to this day it's called OY at the Cumbres And Toltec Scenic Railroad .
