On the occasion of the 51st Railway Week, Western Railway ran a Heritage Steam Train recreating the past. The heritage Steam Run took place on Sunday, when this special train hauled by Shehanshah, a steam engine, chugged to its journey from Mumbai Central to Borivli, puffing great clouds of nostalgia. The train's steam engine was the pride of the WP class of locomotive engines. The engine was built by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia, USA, in 1947.
This "Dubdee", WD, or War Department 2-8-0 locomotive was completed for the British War Department in 1945. Surplus to requirements it was sold to the Dutch Railways (Nederlandse Spoorwegen) who later resold it to Swedish State Railways (Statens Jarnvagar). Sold again to Keighley and Worth Valley Railway in 1973.

A steam engine I built out of a very old air compressor.
This is the same engine as in my other video. I removed the eccentric valve gear and replaced it with a automotive type cam system. Since the exhaust stroke never changes it has the hardest to access cam. The inlet cam can be changed in a few minutes for a different cutoff. The engine is running at about 25psi in the first half, and about 45 in the second half. With the exhaust valve installed the uniflow ports do almost nothing, I blocked them and it had almost no effect speed wise. Running on steam with the ports open, you might get a reduction of steam use as the exhaust steam would not cool the head. The engine is running on air in the video.

Another charity shop find.
Thought at first it might be the Rocket, but I looked at some pictures and it obviously isn't.
Must be an early Victorian design though. Anyone who can help me out here, please do.
I'm still in the throes of textures and experimentation, so I tarted the picture up, to make the locomotive stand out better.

Dierks Forest Service # 360 on display at Queen Wilhelmina State Park, Arkansas. It is a 4-6-0 built in 1920 by ALCO.
This is a Reeves steam engine. My grandfather, along with 5 other farmers in the area, pooled their resources and bought one very much like this, only most likely it was smaller.
They sold it to someone, and then, during the 1950s and 60s, it was shown at the Old Threshers Reunion. Then it disappeared.
My brother, Dave, by coincidence, ran into a man at this year’s Reunion, who had the complete story on our Grandfather’s engine. The Reeves engine was pushing 100 years. It is being restored and maybe we’ll see it next year.
