Sans Pareil is a steam locomotive built by Timothy Hackworth which took part in the 1829 Rainhill Trials on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, held to select a builder of locomotives. The name is French and means 'peerless' or 'without equal'.
Drawing of Sans Pareil from 1829
While a capable locomotive for the day, its technology was somewhat antiquated compared to George and Robert Stephenson's Rocket, the winner of the Rainhill Trials and the £500 prize money. Instead of the fire tube boiler of Rocket, Sans Pareil had a double return flue. To increase the heating surface area, the two flues were joined by a U shaped tube at the forward end of the boiler; the firebox and chimney were both positioned at the rear same end, one on either side.
Texas State Railroad 316 is a steam locomotive built in 1901 by the A. L. Cooke Locomotive Works for the Texas & Pacific Railway. It is the only operating T. & P. steam locomotive in existence. The engine was built for freight service and wore the number 316 during its career with the Texas & Pacific. Engine 201 is classified as a 4-6-0, which means that it has four wheels in the front, six drivers in the middle and no wheels in the rear of the engine. The Texas & Pacific sold number 316 to the Paris & Mt. Pleasant Railroad, a T. & P. subsidiary, in 1949. 316 was displayed in the Oscar Rose Park for many years, wearing the number 75 to symbolize the 75th Jubilee Celebration of the City. In 1974, 316 was donated to the Texas State Railroad where it was restored to operating condition and renumbered as TSRR 201 to pull tourist excursion trains. It remained like that until November 3, 2012 when she was repainted back to T&P 316 for her 111th birthday.
316 was taken out of service at the end of 2013 operating season due to boiler and firebox issues. In 2020, 316 was placed on temporary static display at the newly-constructed Hall of Giants display site along the wye in Palestine, TX.
The Württemberg Hz were 0-10-0 rack and adhesion steam locomotives, that were initially developed by the Royal Württemberg State Railways (Königlich Württembergische Staats-Eisenbahnen), but were delivered to the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) in the mid-1920s.
The locomotives had a Winterthur cogwheel drive with one lower and one upper pair of cylinders. On the level, they ran like normal steam locomotives using the lower, higher pressure, pair of cylinders driving on the third coupled axle. Before entering the rack section the upper drive was started using live steam. At the same time the r.p.m. was matched to the running speed so that entry into the rack section could be achieved smoothly. Once the cogwheel had engaged the rack, the exhaust from the lower cylinders was routed to the upper, lower pressure, ones using a change valve and was expelled from the chimney. The locomotive now worked as a compound.
The cylinders of the adhesion and cogwheel drives have the same diameters (Ø 560 mm). The difference in volume (after expulsion from the adhesion system, the steam doubles its volume) is compensated for because the cogwheel drive turns twice as fast. The driving cogwheel is housed in a special frame, that lies above the second and third axle. The higher cogwheel drive and the lower cogwheel are coupled via an intermediate gear with a transmission ratio of 1:2.43.
The boilers were given steel fireboxes and the frame was reinforced, especially in the area of the drive. The outermost axles, which had side play, were given return springs to minimise hunting.
Of the four machines built, three have been preserved:
97501 in Reutlingen
97502 at the Bochum-Dahlhausen Railway Museum in Bochum-Dahlhausen
97504 at the Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin
On a gloomy day, the firebox of NER 1310 provided a bit of of warmth! This was 1310's last day operating at the middleton railway for the foreseeable future, as its boiler certificate expired

3985 leaving Compress siding after spending a week in St Louis due to a bad firebox syphon tube (040001)*
GWR Locomotive No.4079 'Pendennis Castle' had been failed the previous day with a couple of faults, a leaking injector gasket and leaking tubes. By mid morning, the loco firebox had cooled down sufficiently for a fitter to crawl inside and peen over the leaky tubes. The injector gasket had also been replaced.
The loco was steamed in short order and attached to the rear of the 13.15 working to Alresford, from Alton, which is a service it would have been working prior to failure.
Both our steam locomotives drivers had just put coal in their firebox and lots of smoke,outside the workshop at Gilfach ddu in Llanberis.
After flying back from the US for a family Christmas I arranged a downtime meet-up with Mr Woolley for a spell snapping the Santa Specials on the GCR, Loughborough.
Stanier 8F 48305 was on duty that day and, after taking a few pics and chatting to the driver, to my eternal surprise I was invited up on the footplate for the ride to Leicester and back. Thinking Christmas had come early I eagerly accepted, while making a mental note not to ask too many questions that might give away just how clueless on such matters I was.
Thankfully the crew were pretty relaxed about me taking shots and, for this one, I opted for a slow shutter speed to try capture the motion blur. Always a bit tricky to get the timing right it took half a dozen attempts before I ended up with something I thought passed the sniff test. The dark dingy December weather helped though and ensured the healthy glow from the fire played a part.
Not my first visit to a hot footplate but certainly my first ride on one and I have to confess, if quietly, it absolutely made that Christmas!

The view of the Fireman and the Engineer in a steam locomotive. This is a Pennsylvania Railroad freight locomotive (#2846), built in 1905 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia. Retired after 51 years of service. The door to the firebox is just below this image. Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, Strasburg, PA
Robert Stephenson's "Rocket" of 1829 is famous for winning the 'Rainhill trials.' These chose the propulsion for the world's first intercity passenger train service - a new railway between Liverpool and Manchester. Rocket disproved sceptics' claims that stationary engines would be needed to haul the passenger trains.
Rocket combined innovative features of a separate water lined firebox, a multi-tubular boiler and a blastpipe for fire draught. Together they gave a lightweight and efficient locomotive. The large wooden driving wheels were for speed rather than slow heavy freight pulling - its maximum 30mph must have been the Victorian equivalent of supersonic flight.
This little wooden model (a Christmas present kit) rather quaintly portrays the engine's essence.

Foxfield Railway was built in 1893 to serve the colliery at Dilhorne on the Cheadle Coalfield North Saffordshire. Tackling the formidable 1:19 to 1:26 gradient out of the colliery site at Dilhorne is Robert Stephenson & Hawthorne's Saddle Tank 62 Ugly. (They became known as Uglies due to their short saddle tanks and larger fireboxes. These give them a somewhat ungainly appearance, but they are a more powerful locomotive than the Hunslet Austerities) (Wikipedia)
The Upgraded B6 Switcher: A Durable “Yard Goat”
Built: 1916 by Pennsylvania Railroad, Juniata Shops, Altoona, Pennsylvania
Retired: 1957
The addition of the Pennsylvania Railroad’s signature Belpaire firebox, superheaters and power reverse lever made this B6sb switcher one of the most modern, powerful, and efficient 0-6-0’s anywhere. The B6 class as a whole was the most successful of what the Pennsylvania Railroad called their “shifters.” Like most switching engines, No. 1670 led a career of little excitement, but great importance.
Scuttling back and forth, this little “yard goat” spent most of its life breaking down and making up new trains. Its sloped-back tender gave good visibility to the rear – an important feature on a locomotive that would spend half of its life in reverse.
The No. 1670 is one of two surviving Pennsylvania Railroad B6 locomotives and the only B6sb.
Work does not cease at the Oskova washery of RMU Banovici, and photographic opportunities continue to present themselves, but the lure of the warm hotel with food and drink just 10 minutes drive away, deep in the the adjoining forest, was a necessity to prise one away from this most incredible steam-worked industrial operation well into the 21st century. During the evening of 24th February 2015, this standard post-war Yugoslavian industrial 760mm gauge 0-6-0 tank locomotive No.25-30 built in 1949, while attempting to get its rake of partly discharged hopper wagons on the move again through the tipping dock to allow further wagons to be manually discharged, unexpectedly slipped violently and in the process deposited some the contents of its firebox into the night sky and onto the track. It had been a particularly busy two days at the washery, with demand for coal being high. With this frame 'in the can' just before 8.00pm, it was certainly time to finally call it a day and grab a nice cool beer.

The glowing firebox of GWR stalwart 6023 'King Edward II' stands out nicely as she rests between turns at Loughborough Central station during the GCR Winter Gala Weekend back in 2013.
Designed by the railway's Chief Mechanical Engineer, Charles Collett, to be the most powerful passenger express locomotive on the Great Western Railway, the class was built at Swindon Works and introduced from 1927. A total of thirty-one were built, including one to replace a member of the class written-off following an accident in 1936. Back in the day, a driver of one of these locomotives would be at the very top of his profession.
The 'King' class were to give over 30 years of service to top-link passenger services on the GWR, later BR's Western region, before withdrawal in 1962, when they were replaced by 'Western' diesel hydraulic locomotives.

After sunrise on February 5, 2006, Nevada Northern 2-8-0 No. 93 pulls a freight over Steptoe Creek Fill near East Ely, Nevada. Morning sun shines off the flowing creek and remnants of winter ice, as well as silhouetting the train, including a busy fireman shoveling coal from the tender to a hungry Consolidation firebox.
Remnants of an old modest Virginia farmhouse. It would have had four rooms: two upstairs and two down. The stone chimney side was probably the kitchen with the deeper firebox used for cooking. There was no evidence of the fallen stones from that chimney, but it is not unusual for them to mysteriously disappear, ending up in a modern home's rock wall. While the two rooms downstairs had fireplaces, both upstairs rooms would have used small woodstoves for heat as evidenced by the flue in the standing chimney. The house would have been wood framed, obviously long gone. Neither chimney would have served as support for any framing for the house, which was built first with the chimneys a final touch.
This property is in Virginia Conservation which means that, although it can be cleaned up, it will be preserved as is, never subdivided or further built upon. Conservation properties are private and a huge tax break for the owner.
Inside the locomotive Höland at the Tertitten musuem railway. It isn't often I get a chance to look in to the cab of a locomotive, and that the driver was shoveling coal in to the firebox from the coal bunker.
Høland drove on the Urskog-Høland Railway (Urskog-Hølandsbanen) until it was shut down in 1960. The locomotive has been renovated back to its delivery state and got a new boiler in 1985.
Wherever the Fellowship bases its weekends we try to make sure that that are places to visit in the surrounding area. Within easy reach of Worksop is the Papplewick Pumping Station. This was designed in the early 1880s to pump millions of gallons of clean fresh water every day to the rapidly increasing population of Industrial Nottingham. It is famed for its grand Victorian architecture and the almost exuberant design of its interior. It is also a monumental piece of engineering.
If you haven't been I'd recommend it. Its season is now over but the pumping station and grounds are open on Wednesdays and Sundays, 11am-3pm between the start of April and end of October. There are guided tours. In addition there are special days when steaming takes place and the place hosts weddings and other events.
Here are the four large boilers for which the volunteer was cleaning up and painting doors from the fireboxes.
Class: H3
Built: 1888 by Pennsylvania Railroad, Altoona Works, Altoona, Pennsylvania
Retired: 1939
The Pennsylvania Railroad’s Class R (later H3) steam locomotives became the primary mainline freight locomotive. The Altoona Shops built more than 825 between 1885 and 1898. Its 2-8-0, or “Consolidation” type wheel arrangement became the most popular design for freight locomotives across the country.
The locomotive design was the first to introduce the Belpaire Firebox. Named for its inventor Alfred Belpaire, this design provided greater strength than previous designs and allowed for more space for steam, as well as more area for combustion.

A sootblower, as seen on an early 20th century steam boiler. A device used in coal fired boilers to blow the soot off the water tubes to improve heat transfer. Pulling on the chain rotates the large gear which opens a high pressure steam valve allowing it to enter a pipe which goes across inside the firebox between the tubes. Steam is blown along a line from this pipe from a number of holes, and as rotation continues, a circular area is blown out inside the boiler. Any displaced soot then just goes up the chimney. When a full rotation is made, the steam valve closes.
On the damp and cold Friday 17th January 2014, the 6.07am Wolsztyn to Leszno service (as previously photographed leaving Wolsztyn) has just come to a stand in the platform at Włoszakowice. It's an early start for these passengers, mainly students. The fireman is busy topping up the firebox of 'Ol49' Class 2-6-2 No.59 for the final few miles of the journey in total darkness to Leszno, where the loco will be watered and turned before its return to Wolsztyn later that morning.

I took a ride over the Strasburg to try and get some steam in Fall colors. I stumbled into a photo excursion that I didn’t know about, with 475 on the regular trains, and 89 and 90 working the charter. Seeing 2-10-0 90 sparked a lot of fond memories from the 1970’s and 1980’s, with the oval logo, yellow tender pinstriping, white running board edges, and white “American Flyer driver tires. Of course, they didn't extend her firebox to its original lignite-burning configuration. Here 90 powers the photo freight backing across Esbenshade Road. Taken from private property with permission.
A streamlined locomotive , built in 1938, one of the most powerful steam locomotives ever to run on Britain's railways. It regurarly ran at speeds in excess of 90 mph / 145 km ph, pulling Anglo-Scottish expresses on the West Coast main line.
The fireman had to feed at least 1 ton of coal into its firebox every hour, that meant shifting at least 6 tons of coal on an average journey. Duchess of Hamilton was withdrawn from service in 1964, currently in National Railway Museum, York.
Between the 10th and 12th March 2016 the West Somerset Railway staged a 50th Anniversary Re-union Gala in memory of the Somerset and Dorset Railway's closure on 7th March 1966.
Several guest engines typifying the motive power used during its tenure attended - including the Great Central Railway's LMSR Stanier 8F 2-8-0 No. 48624 pictured here.
I'd been chasing the train from Minehead by car and just captured it here crossing Norvis Bridge when climbing to Crowcombe. Phew!
The fireman can be seen busily shovelling extra coal into the firebox to ensure sufficient steam pressure is maintained for the long and arduous climb ahead.
A nice touch was the renaming of the stations for the event. For instance, Crowcombe became Shepton Mallet.
