LNWR 2-2-2 3020 Cornwall
London and North Western Railway (LNWR) No. 3020 ''Cornwall'' is a preserved steam locomotive. It was originally built as a at Crewe Works in 1847, but was extensively rebuilt and converted into its current form in 1858. Early high-speed locomotive design In the 1840s, express passenger locomotive design was focused on the need for single large-diameter driving wheels of around . The wheel diameter is effectively the "gear ratio" of a steam engine, and large driving wheels delivered the high linear tyre speed needed for fast locomotives, whilst keeping the axle bearing and piston speeds low enough to remain within the limits of the existing technology. Later on, increasing engine power would require better adhesion than a single pair of driving wheels could provide, but that was not a problem at the time. As well as needing large wheels for speed, stability required a low centre of gravity, and thus a low-slung boiler. The difficulty was that the two conditions were in confl ...

Cornouaille
Cornouaille (; , ) is a historical region on the west coast of Brittany in West France. The name is cognate with Cornwall in neighbouring Great Britain. This can be explained by the settlement of Cornouaille by migrant princes from Cornwall who created an independent principality founded by Rivelen Mor Marthou, and the founding of the Bishopric of Cornouaille by ancient saints from Cornwall. Celtic Britons and the settlers in Brittany spoke a common language, which later evolved into Breton, Welsh and Cornish. Etymology The toponym Cornouaille was established in the early Middle Ages in the southwest of the Breton peninsula. Prior to this, following the withdrawal of Rome from Britain, other British migrants from what is now modern Devon had established the region of ''Domnonea'' (in Breton) or '' Domnonée'' (in French) in the north of the peninsula, taken from the Latin '' Dumnonia''. The region was first mentioned in surviving records by a ''Cornouaille''-related na ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
