That is quite a useful size for powering small equipment as a stationary engine which is easy to move around, there are a lot of them about here. Smaller than that and they are hard to keep running.^^^ I hope that is a replica or scale model?
I was wondering how they got the coal to burn so black, but I see that it has been converted to run on fuel oil - that is not going to smell like a proper steam train! The smell is part of the experience.I missed seeing BIG BOY!
Lots of power, but no good for todays railways with a maximum speed of 50mph.The strongest steam loco here was the so called "litra N" or in Germany the BR 50 / 52
None of these drive / exist here in Denmark today.
The problem with steam trains is that they have no gears, you can either have small wheels giving powerful and slow, or big wheels giving fast and poor acceleration, but not both in the same locomotive.no.
The worked great for hauling tonnes of equipment and men...
I guess they don't need to go so fast in Denmark since there is not so far to go from one end of the country to the other. The UK holds the steam train world speed record of 203Km/h achieved by the locomotive Mallard in 1938.Fastest steamer ever here topped out at 110 km/h.
