DLM in Switserland even builds brandnew rack and pinion steam locomotives. They look old but they are actual very high tech and are fueled by bio/natural gas or renewable plant based light fuel oil Also the 100+ years old paddlewheelers on lake Geneva are reconverted to steampower by DLM Modern industrial computer monitor cabinets stand in the engine room. f.e. the exhaust gasses and cooling water for the condensors are constantly monitored and adjusted. Those steampowered trains/ships are much enviromentaly cleaner then Diesel powerd version.
"Steam locomotives don't care…" There are diesel rack-and-pinion locomotives such as the ZL 200. It handles inclines up to 2.5 degrees greater than the steam locomotives found on the Snowden Railway.
The entire Gornergrat Railway railway runs electric rack-and-pinion locomotives.
While some may question the aesthetic beauty of the Q1’s, their lack of normal fittings, railings, and running boards made their appearance very modern and streamlined…albeit, boxy.
25:59 why not just make the smoke stack bend over the boiler and go to the back way past the crew? and you could put fans on the smoke stack to help pull the smoke out
FYI ToT, regarding geared locomotives, Johnson 16 wheelers had a 2 speed gearbox, very small wheels being excessively restrictive when running light. Although with the exposed gearbox, and running in bush with sticks and rocks etc they did have a tendency to jump out of gear. The price 16 wheelers had a more normal layout. Both johnson and prices 8 wheelers were more akin to the normal heisler and climax products

More of these please
So, the big boys are the biggest steam locomotives ever built, and the yellowstones are the most powerful steam locomotives ever built?
Thanks ToT! Great compilation video cobber. Cheers.
Evening Star is the most unique 9F I think I’ve ever heard of.

So it sounds like… locomotives don't care.
"steam locomotives however do not care what science tells us" i love this guy
I know the video is old but it's pronounced E-P-rium
I think the Allegheny was heavier, coming in at 1,750,000 pounds tender and all
Interesting & beautifuly presented!
One correction: it's pronounce L-eye-ma like the bean and not Lee-ma like the capital of Peru. Other than that nice video.
The Q1s are gorgeous.

Can you talk about new zealends railways it also holds the testmint of railways will be built anywhere
I've been on the Snowdon railway. It's great
The CUT of their jib".

Some many dad jokes there at the end
You cant talk about cab forward steam locos and not mention the Southern railways 'Leader'.
