Debuting in 1951 the BR Standard Class 7 had been one of the most famous classes of British steam locomotives. The two cylinder locos reached a maximum speed of 144 km/h and were used till 1966. 70000 “Britannia” and 70013 “Oliver Cromwell” are preserved and power fan trip trains.

Oliver Bulleid designed SR Merchant Navy Class with an air-smoothed body that gives the 30 samples a distinctive look. After debut of successor Standard Class 7 Merchant Navy class had been re-designed with a more conventional look. In 1967, quite in fall of her career 35003 „Royal Mail“ had reached a maximum speed of 150,88 mph. F14: engine driver dialogue selectable via CV168 value 0-4 (random/specific)

Oliver Bulleid designed SR West Country Class with an air-smoothed body that gives the 110 samples a distinctive look. The members of West Country class ran smoothly even at high speed but they consumed too much fuel. So BR decided to re-design many of the locos with a more conventional look even in the early 1960s. Many of the non-rebuilts survived in service until 1967. F14: engine driver dialogue selectable via CV168 value 0-4 (random/specific)

From 1908, the British Great Western Railway GWR purchased several series of a steam locomotive type generally known as the Large Prairie (wheel arrangement 2-6-2T). The last series were the 4100-4179, built between 1934 and 1949. The three-coupled locomotives, which were equally fast forwards and backwards, were primarily used on suburban trains, but also proved their worth on light freight trains. The last of the 1039 hp, 75 mph two-cylinder superheated steam locomotives were retired by 1965, more…
Between 1899 and 1900, the Scottish Caledonian Railway (CR) purchased a total of 79 Class 812 steam locomotives, designed by locomotive engineer John F. McIntosh. The steam locomotive was originally built for freight transport, but was also used for passenger service. In 1923, all the locomotives built were transferred to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) along with the CR. Most of the locomotives remained in active service until the late 1950s and were finally retired by 1963. The more…
Most narrow-gauge railways were built and, at least initially, operated by private companies. The state railways usually coded the track gauge in the class designation, and sometimes also the wheel arrangement. The operating number was generally assigned consecutively. With the integration of many railways into the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG), the class designations, which consisted of letters and numbers (e.g., Tssd, IV k, or Gts 2x 3/3), were standardized and only numbers were more…
The first German three-cylinder steam locomotive to be built in large numbers was the Prussian S10.2 (BR 17) in 1914. Among the reasons given were its lower weight compared to the four-cylinder S10.1 and its favorable starting characteristics. The latter also played a role in the choice of a three-cylinder drive for the Prussian P10 (BR 39) passenger locomotive and the G12 (BR 58) freight locomotive. A disadvantage compared to the two-cylinder locomotives was the more difficult maintenance due more…
Two-cylinder locomotives were considered easier to drive and relatively undemanding compared to three- or four-cylinder locomotives. Huge numbers of the standard freight train class 50 and the war locomotive 52, which was developed from it, were built, with more than 3,000 and more than 6,200 examples, respectively, running in almost all neighboring countries. It is therefore no surprise that the most-produced tank locomotives, by far the most produced, were the class 64 (520 units) and 86 (774 more…
