The drunk Russian were remarkably up to date as locomotive engineering went.

The thing is, like it was with so many things in communism that they carefully studied the global trends, deduced "the perfect locomotive" and then produced it in mass quantities 10 years past everyone else had moved on.

I believe it was so they could change crews without stopping.

Looks interesting. I was suspecting it would have been something lake the last generation of 1940s, but it was 1910s! It must have been cutting edge, when new.

At the eastern grand duchy, this was the heaviest locomotive at the time, nicknamed "jumbo". I think it was based on German design.

I'm not that guy. I just thought it was extremely unwarranted to react like that to someone posting a train. Isn't that what the thread is for? Why be such a dick?

Would like to see the Russian Decapods run, but you know how they are, can't go over guarded-frogs.

Why's that? Too long frame?

I really do dig the black and red celebratory livery of the Russian locomotives.

(Almost as much as I like dark green on black, mind you :) )

Built for Russia (the final order of 200 undelivered due to 1917 revolution) which used 5ft gauge. The conversion to standard gauge was by putting on wider wheels. A guarded frog guides train wheels, but they're so wide on the locomotives that that go on top of them instead.

I suppose they might have needed significantly more work to convert to standard gauge without the wide wheels. Moving cylinders inward, maybe even the frame was too wide.

Welcome to 4chan. And since you're new that means you haven't seen "muh little Joe" being accompanied with autistic tantrums about management conspiracies.

This.
Seems like only the British gave a shit about the looks of their locos. Hate the look of pipes & shit pointing out everywhere, just like the BR standard classes.

"That looks a lot like a V200..."

>The diesel-hydraulic locomotive ML 2200 C'C' was a 6 axle variant of the DB Class V 200 series of locomotives, which were built for Yugoslav State Railways (JDŽ) by manufacturer Krauss-Maffei.

"Ah."

One thing I'm not wrong about: Britain had the most stupidly small loading gauge. And for some reason refused to use stokers even on locos that absolutely would need them.

It's just personal preference though. Not really a fan on the smokebox front either, with those werrd levers.

Of standard gauge, I should have specified....there's practically no loading gauge at all on 7ft, width wise....still counts under "britain!"

Well that's a consequence of going first; you can't look at anyone else and say "Nah, we'll make some improvements". Not to mention getting people to invest in this new transportation method is difficult so you have to do things on the cheap.
