The train was hauled by an early 4-6-2 steam locomotive; cars were standard heavyweight construction. The new Flying Yankee in the 1930s was a lightweight train constructed with welded stainless steel using Budd's patented process. The engine was an 8-cylinder Winton 201-A diesel, driving a generator; [2] the lead truck was equipped with ...
A HO scale model of SBB CFF FFS electric locomotive made for the European markets. A simplified HO scale model of SNCF diesel locomotive made for the European markets. Lima (Lavorazione Italiana Metalli e Affini) was founded in 1946 as a parts supplier for the Italian state railway (F.S. Italia). When the railway started producing its own parts ...
Layout Stirmouth & Southern Railroad Company in On30 gauge, based on the Bachmann Industries models.. On30 (also called On2 1 ⁄ 2, O16.5 and Oe) gauge is the modelling of narrow gauge railways in O scale on HO (16.5 mm / 0.65 in) gauge track in 1:48 scale ratio by American and Australian model railroaders, in 1:43.5 scale ratio by British and French model railroaders and 1:45 by Continental ...
Maine Central made annual purchases of new steam locomotives from 1899 through 1920. Changing economic climate following World War I terminated routine annual purchases. . Economic restructuring in the early 1920s included purchasing a few modern steam locomotives in 1923 and 1924 while eliminating subsidiary branch lines serving Bridgton, Belfast and Franklin C
HO or H0 is a rail transport modelling scale using a 1:87 scale (3.5 mm to 1 foot). It is the most popular scale of model railway in the world. [1] [2] The rails are spaced 16.5 millimetres (0.650 in) apart for modelling 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) standard gauge tracks and trains in HO.
In the same scale standard-gauge trains are modelled on 16.5 mm (0.65 in) gauge track, known as H0. Narrow-gauge trains are usually modelled on 9 mm (0.354 in) gauge track which is known as H0e and industrial minimum-gauge lines are modelled on 6.5 mm (0.256 in) gauge track known as H0f gauge.
The ČKD ČME3, a common example of a diesel shunting locomotive The InterCity 125 set a speed record – 148 mph (238 km/h) – for a diesel-powered train in 1987. Capable of 125 mph (201 km/h) in regular service, the train consists of two power cars with either seven or eight carriages between them. [1]
Notable Chessie System locomotives include: B&O #1977 was meant to celebrate the B&O's 150th anniversary. For a short time, there were two B&O locomotives numbered 1977; this GP40 was later renumbered B&O 4100 and B&O 4163. B&O #GM50 (EMD GP40-2) was painted gold to celebrate GM-EMD's 50th anniversary as a diesel locomotive manufacturer. In ...
