Hey y'all /n/egroes!

What is the most unique locomotive y'alls knows of?

The one I know of Gazelle of the Shropshire And Montgomeryshire Light Railway.

Here's an 0-6-4T at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. It's an extremely rare wheel arrangement, apparently.

Unlike Gazelle which will forever be a museum piece now.

Anyway, here's Gazelle in her working years.

>I never knew the LNER had electric locomotives.

The Woodhead route is a classic. The only 1500VDC electric line in the UK, planned before WW2 but completed afterwards. Then British Railways decided to use 25kVAC for all future electrification, which left Woodhead as a bit of an oddball.

It still lasted into the 80's though (and it's closure is still a short sighted muddle headed scandal, but that's another story)

it's worse that that. if they hadn't ripped up the Great Central Mainline (Including woodhead) there wouldn't have been a need for HS2. they could have simply upgraded the existing line and had a high speed link between London and Manchester (one of the busiest airports in the UK)

i was in short utterly moronic

So the GCR I kind of get; there were a bunch of London-North lines, and the GCR didn't pass through many large towns, so it was naturally going to be high on the list when the cull happened.

In retrospect it was short sighted, but you'd have needed a crystal ball to realise it maybe.

>>1090237
There's always plans. That's all they ever amount too. Part of the problem is that idiots keep wanting to build roads on top of the track bed, and there's a high-voltage distribution cable running through the main Woodhead tunnel which the National Grid claim will cost eleventy billion pounds to move.

Not quite. The GCR was always going to loose out to the Midland route (WCML) just as the GW mainline to Birmingham did. They both were degraded/closed due to "duplication" but nowadays capacity is at a premium.

I know nothing about its history.

It appears to have outside mounted stephenson's valve gearing which i have never seen done before.
usually the eccentrics and valve gear linkages are on the axle, hidden by the frame.

It has a gear from the engine axle to the single driver axle, making it a 0-2-2.

the brakes are also something I never seen before.
They make an almost complete circle around the flywheel and contract on the flywheel.

I don't see the benefits of this unconventional design.

if there was enough work to justify a 2-8-0+0-8-2 garratt then I'm sure work would be found for a 2-6-6-4.

it's not that we never needed articulated locomotives it's just that the british loading gauge is really restrictive, which limits how big you can build your locos so we had to make do with 8-coupled frieght locomotives

had it been built it probably would have found work in areas like the woodhead line, Yorkshire coalfields or the tyneside area.

I also feel that it's worth mentioning that when the LMS was designing their 2-6-0+0-6-2 garratts a 2-6-6-0 or 0-6-6-0 mallet was designed as an alternative. someone actually scratch built a model of this behemoth in the 80s and has been kind enough to post pictures of it on the web

Fastech 360. Two sets were built in 2005 as a test to figure out how the new SHinkansen should be designed. They had unique cab designs at either end along with emergency air brakes at the top of each car that earned them the nickname "Cat-eared Shinkansen". After testing they were scrapped in 2008 and the data was used to develop the E5 series.

The A1/A1x Terrier. Are they unique on their own? Not really. 50 were built and 10 survived into preservation. But what is unique is that pic related was the oldest locomotive in British Railways service when it was withdrawn in 1964. It was built in 1872, meaning it was 92 years old when it was withdrawn. Even more unique is that it's preserved on the Bluebell Railway.

Here's a Yugoslavian copy of the S100 which came to the UK a few years back.

Nice, I see it predates the Snowdon Mountain Railway.

Yet that's in Wales.

Big Boys are bit unique though. UP are rebuilding one. There are other, more powerful locos, that have not got the fame

Oh I've seen that locomotive and been to the Sittingbourne And Kemsley Light Railway.

At one point during the years the railway was part of the Bowaters Paper Mill an articulated 0-4-4-0 tank engine called Monarch used to run on the line until 1966 when it was purchased by the Welshpool And Llanfair Light Railway.

>The railway was officially opened on Monday 6 April 1896, and two trains were dispatched to the summit. On the first return trip down the mountain, possibly due to the weight of the train, locomotive No. 1 Ladas with two carriages lost the rack and ran out of control. The locomotive derailed and fell down the mountain. A passenger died from loss of blood after jumping from the carriage.

There is a £14,000 appeal that the Didcot Railway Centre have launched so if that money is obtained then Shannon will see restoration.
