Electric-steam locomotive
An electric-steam locomotive is a steam locomotive that uses electricity to heat the water in the boiler to create steam instead of burning fuel in a firebox. [1] This is a highly unusual type of locomotive that only makes economic sense under specific conditions. Normally, it would be much more efficient to build and use an electric locomotive.
Andrew Barclay Works No 2373 Imperial Paper Mills Ltd 0-4-0F Imperial 1
A novel solution to this was the development of the fireless locomotive, which lacked a boiler and firebox and, instead, was equipped with a cylindrical reservoir. Steam would first be generated and pressurised in a static boiler and, through a pipe, then be pushed into the fireless locomotive''s reservoir – the rest of the mechanics, such as pistons and …
Researching The Ultimate Fireless Steam Locomotive
Dr. Gilli of Henschel of Germany designed fireless steam locomotives with accumulators that initially held saturated water at over 1,000-psia at 545-deg F (69-bar at 285-deg C) and 542.6-Btu/lb. This steam fed into a 250-psia running tank that supplied the cylinders. To convert saturated water at this pressure to saturated steam required that ...

Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn Works No 7151 No 9 0-6-0T
At the power station a fleet of powerful Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn 0-6-0ST locomotives were employed up to the mid 1970s. They were used to haul 1000 ton coal trains. 7151 was purchased by an Avvon Valley Railway Trust member from the CEGB. In 1980 the locomotive was moved to the Avon Valley Railway at Bitton Station where …
PRESENTATION OF DLM''S FIRELESS LOCOMOTIVES AT …
Friday, September 7 saw intensive shunting operation by the fireless locomotives of DLM at Schaffhausen''s SBB station. The demonstration for interested customers included re-charging of steam at the nearby brewery. For logistic reasons, DLMs own steam fleet was being shunted around instead of the usual goods waggons.
Fireless steam locomotive at the Shamokin Dam. : r/trains
Fireless steam locomotive at the Shamokin Dam. One of these locomotives survives today at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. In my quest to find the strangest locomotives ever to roam the railways I stumbled upon this picture. It''s strangely adorable. Listed as scrapped in 2014.
Unconventional Locomotives
LOCOMOTIVES - 19. THE "CAMEL- BACK", an appropriately- named locomotive used on American freight trains from 1848 to 1873. The driver''s cab was placed on top of the boiler to restrict the overall length of the engine, which had an exceptionally long firebox. Note the fireman''s platform in front of the tender.
50 years of fireless steam
Think of a fireless steam locomotive and the image that will almost certainly come to mind is of a standard-gauge engine shunting an industrial yard, with a ready supply of steam to hand. Narrow gauge fireless locomotives did exist, including two 2ft 6in gauge examples on Bowater''s Sittingbourne system in Kent – 2-4-0F ''Unique'', …
W G Bagnall Works No 2898 Patons 0-4-0F
W G Bagnall Works No 2898 Patons 0-4-0F. This locomotive was built by W G Bagnall and delivered new to the Darlington factory of wool spinners Paton and Baldwins in 1948. It was overhauled by Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns in the late 1950s. At some stage the locomotive acquired the name Patons. It was a fireless locomotive which means that it ...
''Caledonia'' 0-4-0 Fireless – Rapido Trains UK
The largest number of British-built fireless locomotives were constructed by Andrew Barclay & Co. Ltd, and an impressive 114 were built between 1913 and 1961 of varying designs, so it was only fitting that we pick the most numerous of Barclay''s prototypes, the ''Caledonia'', to produce as the very first Ready-to-run OO Gauge British ...
"Supercharging" the Traditional Fireless Steam Locomotive
A traditional fireless locomotive stores hot saturated water in its pressure vessel. If the pressure vessel hold the saturated water at 250-psi (401-deg F), the enthalpy of the saturated liquid is 376.1-Btu/lb, yet the enthalpy of the saturated steam is 1201.1-Btu/lb. The liquid in the vessel has to release 825-Btu/lb to transform liquid to ...
