Standard Goods
A Standard Goods locomotive is a steam locomotive designed principally for hauling goods trains, though they may at times haul passenger trains. Examples include: * The 0-6-0 GWR Gooch Standard Goods class, also known as the ''Ariadne Class'', serving on the Great Western Railway from 1852 until 1892 * The 0-6-0 Armstrong Standard Goods, serving on the Great Western Railway from 1866 until 1934 * The 2-8-0 New South Wales D50 class locomotive New or NEW may refer to: Music * New, singer of K-pop group The Boyz * ''New'' (album), by Paul McCartney, 2013 ** "New" (Paul McCartney song), 2013 * ''New'' (EP), by Regurgitator, 1995 * "New" (Daya song), 2017 * "New" (No Doubt song), 1 ... serving from 1896 until the early 1970s * The 2-8-0 New South Wales D53 class locomotive serving from 1912 until the early 1970s * The 2-8-0 New South Wales D55 class locomotive serving from 1918 until the late 1960s External links * http://users.nex.net.au/~reidgck/nswsteam.htm Locomot ...

Steam Locomotive
A steam locomotive is a locomotive that provides the force to move itself and other vehicles by means of the expansion of steam. It is fuelled by burning combustible material (usually coal, Fuel oil, oil or, rarely, Wood fuel, wood) to heat water in the locomotive's Boiler (power generation), boiler to the point where it becomes gaseous and its volume increases 1,700 times. Functionally, it is a steam engine on wheels. In most locomotives, the steam is admitted alternately to each end of its Steam locomotive components, cylinders in which pistons are mechanically connected to the locomotive's main wheels. Fuel and water supplies are usually carried with the locomotive, either on the locomotive itself or in a Tender (rail), tender coupled to it. #Variations, Variations in this general design include electrically powered boilers, turbines in place of pistons, and using steam generated externally. Steam locomotives were first developed in the United Kingdom of Great Britain an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Goods Train
A freight train, also called a goods train or cargo train, is a railway train that is used to carry cargo, as opposed to passengers. Freight trains are made up of one or more locomotives which provide propulsion, along with one or more railroad cars (also known as wagons) which carry freight. A wide variety of cargoes are carried on trains, but the low friction inherent to rail transport means that freight trains are especially suited to carrying bulk and heavy loads over longer distances. History The earliest recorded use of rail transport for freight was in Babylon, circa 2200 B.C.E. This use took the form of wagons pulled on wagonways by horses or even humans. Locomotives Freight trains are almost universally powered by locomotives. Historically, steam locomotives were predominant, but beginning in the 1920s diesel and electric locomotives displaced steam due to their greater reliability, cleaner emissions, and lower costs. Freight cars Freight trains carry cargo i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
GWR Gooch Standard Goods Class
The Great Western Railway (GWR) Ariadne Class and Caliph Class were broad gauge 0-6-0 steam locomotives designed for goods train work by Daniel Gooch and are often referred to as his Standard Goods locomotives. The class was introduced into service between May 1852 and March 1863, and were built in seven lots at Swindon with a total of 102 locomotives. All were withdrawn between 1871 and 1883 except for ''Europa'', which was extensively rebuilt in 1869 and survived until the end of the GWR broad gauge in May 1892. Naming References * * * {{GWR Locomotives Ariadne In Greek mythology, Ariadne (; ; ) was a Cretan princess, the daughter of King Minos of Crete.

Armstrong Standard Goods
The GWR 388 class was a large class of 310 0-6-0 goods locomotives built by the Great Western Railway. They are sometimes referred to as the Armstrong Goods or Armstrong Standard Goods to differentiate from the '' Gooch Goods'' and '' Dean Goods'' classes, both of which were also large classes of standard goods locomotives. Use Despite their description as goods engines, for many years they were also used on passenger trains; the class that principally replaced them was Churchward's mixed-traffic 2-6-0s, the 4300 Class of 1919-21. They were used throughout the GWR system where the gauge permitted; principally in the Northern Division to start with. War service While the service overseas of Dean's 2301 Class during two world wars is well known, the service of the 388 Class in World War I is less often documented. Six of the class were sent to Serbia in 1916, two of them returning in 1921; and 16 of them were shipped to Salonika in 1917, though the first batch of eight was lost ...

New South Wales D53 Class Locomotive
The D53 class is a class of 2-8-0 steam locomotives built for the New South Wales Government Railways of Australia. History This class of locomotive was designed by the New South Wales Government Railways as an improved version of the T class. All the coupled wheels had flanges and a certain amount of side movement was given to the middle pairs with a laterally operating knuckle joint being provided in the middle section of the coupling rods. Clyde Engineering delivered the first locomotive in April 1912 and by November 1917, a total of 190 were in service. Most were fitted with superheaters when built and some fitted at a later date. There was a problem with the locomotives being unbalanced, causing speed restrictions to be imposed to avoid rough riding and track damage. Following further investigations, 24 of the class received balanced coupled wheels and these were permitted to operate at higher speed on mail and fruit trains. When introduced, most of the class were fitte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
New South Wales D55 Class Locomotive
The D55 class is a class of 2-8-0 steam locomotives built by Clyde Engineering for the New South Wales Government Railways in Australia. Construction In 1916, Clyde Engineering were awarded a contract for the construction of 300 K class locomotives. Following experiments with Southern valve gear, Southern type valve gear on an earlier class, Chief Mechanical Engineer Edward Lucy proposed its installation on these locomotives. The use of Southern valve gear was rare on locomotives operating outside the United States of America. Its use in this instance signaled the first NSWGR main line design with outside valve gear. The wisdom of the decision supporting Southern Valve Gear replacing the (inside) Allen Valve Gear of the 460 otherwise closely related Standard Goods Engines was borne out by the results, the K's (55's) averagely having much better valve events than those of their 460 close ancestors, throughout their lives. The first of the class, then classified as K1353, enter ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
