Cutting Metal Loco turning? Why a 4-6-0? Why not a 4-8-0 ? Larger driving wheels? 200 km/h Speed Approval Network Rail Approvals? Performance Questions 5AT performance exaggerated?: Reliability Thermal Efficiency Motion, Balancing, Valve Gear Why Walschaerts valve gear ? Why not Baker Valve Gear? Why not British Caprotti? Why not Variable Lead? Piston vs. Caprotti Valves Piston speed too high? Why not 3 cylinders? Hammer Blow? Boiler Questions Boiler large enough? Boiler pressure too high? Why not higher pressure? Steaming Rate Unachievable Feedwater Heating Steam Flow and Exhaust Why not a compound? Steam Pipes Exhaust Systems Steam Jacket to Cylinders? Fuel Questions What is "Gas Oil"? Why not Coal Fuel? What about Bio-Mass Fuel?
