Text Appearing After Image: FOUR-WHEELED COUPLED TANK LOCOMOTIVE ON THE LONDON & SOUTHWESTERN RAILWAY
Vol. LXVIII, No. 8] And Railroad Journal. 349 [...] Four-Wheeled Coupled Tank Locomotive on the London & Southwestern Railway. — In our issue for April we published drawings and a description of a four-wheeled bogie tank locomotive that is used on the London & Southwestern Railway, which was designed by Mr. W. Adams, Locomotive Superintendent. On another page we publish a full-page engraving giving the side view of this engine, for which engraving we are indebted to the Engineer of London. This engraving gives a very good idea of the appearance of the engine on the road, and, coupled with our description as published in April, is sufficient to enable an engineer to reproduce the engine if he should so desire. We wish, however, to call particular attention to the broad and safe steps which are used and which characterize English locomotive practice in general, and also the arrangement of the driver brakes, in which there is no apparent compensation for variation in the wear of the shoes, in which all are brought to bearing before the breaking resistance really begins.
