Collects steam at the top of the boiler (well above the water level) so that it can be fed to the engine via the main steam pipe, or dry pipe, and the regulator/throttle valve. [2] [5] [6]: 211–212 [3]: 26 Air pump / Air compressor Westinghouse pump (US+) Powered by steam, it compresses air for operating the train air brake system.
The ACE 3000 was a proposed modern 4-4-4-2 coal-burning duplex drive steam locomotive design for Ross Rowland's ACE 3000 Project and for the American Coal Enterprises, the locomotive was designed by Ross Rowland and was developed by American Coal Enterprises in the late 1970s.
Nos. 3000–19 (bought 1919) were also overhauled similarly to the new nos. 3020–49 between 1927 and 1929, but were not further renumbered. [2] The leading dimensions of the GWR 3000 Class were the same as the GCR Class 8K except that the GWR increased the boiler pressure to 185 psi (1,280 kPa) which increased the tractive effort from 31,327 ...

Components of a locomotive, e.g. 'cylinder' or 'piston rod', use 'Locomotive parts' Individual locomotive classes use the relevant country, railway company or wheel arrangement category. Generic types of steam locomotive e.g. 'Mallet' or 'Crampton', use 'Steam locomotive types'
Murdoch's model steam carriage of 1784, now in Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum. Early research on the steam engine before 1700 was closely linked to the quest for self-propelled vehicles and ships [citation needed], the first practical applications from 1712 were stationary plant working at very low pressure which entailed engines of very large dimensions.
