According to Gooch the first locomotive to be delivered was Vulcan manufactured at the Vulcan Foundry by Tayleur. The two Mather Dixon engines were shipped from Liverpool to Bristol and taken by canal to West Drayton. These were trialed on 18 January 1838. The locomotive which hauled the first train was R. Stephenson (WN 150/1837) North Star which had originally been ordered for a 6ft gauge American railway, and which had been conveyed across the Atlantic, but was returned due to financial failure.

Correspondence.
Locomotives of the Great Northern Railway. H.T.B. 20.
Refers back to earlier series of articles. Small Hawthorn singles altered by Sturrock in 1862: leading axle moved to be under smokebox, and weatherboard (like those fitted to MSLR locomotives) fitted. Nos. 51-60 modified in this way.  "4ft 1in saddle tanks" (0-6-0ST Nos. 604 and 605) had short chimneys for working docks traffic. Fig. 61 was incorrect: the 716-750 series of goods engines (0-6-0) had clack boxes on side of boiler, small splashers over the trailing coupling rod wheel, parallel buffer sockets and the brass beading round the driving wheel splasher was flush with the top, the trailing springs were underhung. Figs. 44 and 45: bogie tank engines (Nos. 517 and 246) should have had short chimneys to meet Metropolitan Railway loading gauge.

Fig. 1 North Star in original state. Cites Whishaw for dimensions of boiler barrel and firebox. It was delivered in 1837 and put to work in 1838. On 20 September 1838 it ran from Maidenhead to London at an average speed of 32.5 mile/h hauling 184 tons. It subsequesntly hauled 43 tons from Maidenhead to London and back at an average speed of 38 mile/h achieving a maximum of 45 mile/h. Fig. 2 shows the locomotive with a newer boiler and longer stroke cylinders. It worked until December 1870 and was at Swindon pending a move to the South Kensington Museum. Fig. 3 shows Morning Star which had been adapted from the 5ft 6in gauge intended for the New Orleans Railway. It was a 2-2-2 with 6ft 6in driving wheels. Charles Tayleur & Co. supplied 2-2-2 Vulcan (WN 51/1837), AEolus (WN 52/1838) and Bacchus (WN 53/1838). They had a total heating surface of 702.75ft² and a grate area of 9.38ft² Whishaw is again cited. Fig. 4 shows Vulcan as built aand Fig. 5 as first rebuilt and Fig. 6 shows Vulcan as rebuilt at a 2-2-2T. AEolus is mentioned by Nicholas Wood for hauling 32 tons at 50 mile/h. Fig. 7 shows AEolus as a 6ft driving wheel 2-2-2: leter it was rebuilt as a tank engine. Fig. 8 shows Bacchus which was latterly demoted to being a ballast engine.

Fig. 15 shows one of three 2-2-2 locomotives supplied by Sharp Roberts in 1838: WN R, S and T named Lion, Atlas and Eagle respectively. These were based on standard gauge designs, but with the wheels placed well outside the frames. The leading dimensions were 6ft driving wheels, 14in x 18in cylinders, 478.67ft² total heating surface and 11.66ft² grate area. About 1860 all were rebuilt with tanks.
Haigh Foundry supplied WN 25 and 26 of 1838 which carried the names Snake and Viper. As originally built they had 6ft driving wheels and gearing (spur wheel and pinion with a 2 to 1 ratio) between them and the small cylinders. One of them appears to have been successful on test runs between Paddington and Maidenhead when speeds of between 35 and 40 mile/h were attained. Nevertheless, the directors declined to accept the locomotives and they were rebuilt without gearing and with new cylinders and driving wheels. Whishaw quoted the following main dimensions: 6ft 4in driving wheels, 14¾in x 18in cylinders, 486.17ft² total heating surface. It is argued that Fig. 16 does not depict these two locomotives in either form, but Fig. 17 may show their tenders which had their 4ft 6in wheels formed from dished plates as per Ajax (Fig. 14).
R. & W. Hawthorn WN 235 and 236 were two extraordinary locomotives built to T.E. Harrison's patent design named Thunderer and Hurricane in which a boiler was carried on six axles and steam was conveyed to a separate engine unit. Thunderer had two 16in x 20in cylinders which onto two pairs of 6ft driving wheels via gearing with a ratio of 27 to 10. The boiler units had a total heating surface of 623.42ft² and a grate area slightly in excess of 17ft². Hurricane employed direct drive from two 16in x 20in cylinders drove 10ft diameter driving wheels. It had been claimed that Hurricane ran the 22½ miles to Taplow in 16 minutes, driven by Richard Wilkinson of the Stockton & Darlington Railway and fired by John Thompson.

Locomotives of the West and South Clare Rys. 64-5. 2 illus.
The West Clare Railway opened in July 1887. The 3ft gauge line was constructed under the 1883 Light Railways Act and was 27 miles long connecting Ennis with Miltown Malbay. The first four locomotives were supplied by W.G. Bagnall & Co. These were 0-6-0Ts with 3ft 6in coupled wheels. Nos. 1 and 2 had 13in x 20in cylinders and a total heating surface of about 510ft². Nos. 3 Clifden and 4 Besborough (the latter being illustrated) had 14in x 20in cylinders and a total heating surface of about 540ft². In December 1893 the South Clare Railway opened from Miltown Malbay to Kilkee and Kilrush. Three new locomotives were supplied by Dübs to the specification of George Hopkins who joined the West Clare Railway as locomotive superintendent from the M.G.W.R. in 1891. These were 0-6-2Ts with 4ft coupled wheels, 15in x 20in cylinders, 740ft² total heating surface and 11ft² grate area. These were Nos. 5 Slieve Callan, 6 Saint Senan and 7 Lady Inchiquin: the last being illustrated. These locomotives were capable of hauling 150 tons up 1 in 60 gradients for three miles.

Stephenson & Co.locomotives originally constructed in 1839 for the New Orleans Railroad, but not delivered: Evening Star (shown in Fig. 20) and Dog Star with 7ft driving wheels and 15in x 18in cylinders. The total heating surface was 637.97ft², but Dog Star may have had a larger heating surface of 753.79ft² and a grate are of 14.14ft². Eight further R. Stephenson & Co.locomotives were supplied in 1840/1 and all received Star names. Polar Star had 15½in x 18in cylinders, 7ft driving wheels, and a total heating surface of 662.33ft². Red Star and Lode Star had a larger total heating surface of 817.97ft². Rising Star (shown in Fig. 21) had a longer boiler. Shooting Star (shown in Fig. 22) was very similar to Evening Star including the unusual safety valves on the boiler barrel, but the domed firebox was different. Royal Star (shown in Fig. 23) had a different boiler which according to D.K. Clark had a total heating surface of 822ft² and a grate area of 11.7ft². Two locomotives were tabulated, but not mentioned in the initial survey of dimensions:Bright Star and Western Star. Some of the locomotives were converted into saddle tank engines with an extra leading axle (Figure 24): these were: Morning Star, Polar Star, Shooting Star, Red Star, Rising Star and Bright Star. From 1840 Daniel Gooch became locomotive superintendent and specifications were drawn up for manufacturers with drawings and iron templates supplied by Gooch. Sixty two six-wheeled 2-2-2 were essentially similar with 7ft driving wheels, 15in x 18in cylinders, a total heating surface of 647.6ft² and a grate area of 12.57². The first to be supplied were six built by Jones, Turner & Evans of Viaduct Foundry, Newton. These were WN18-23/1840, named Firefly, Spitfire, Wildfire, Fireball, Fireking and Firebrand. Firefly is shown in Figure 25. Fireball and Fireking were rebuilt with 6ft diameter driving wheels.

Diagram of companies which formed the company: Eastern Counties Railway, first part opened 18 June 1839 from Devonshire Street to Romford and the Northern & Eastern Railway opended from Stratford to Broxbourne on 15 September 1840. Both of these were 5ft gauge: altered to standard gauge in September/October 1844. The Norwich & Yarmouth Railway opened on 1 May 1844: this became the Norfolk Railway which had opened lines from Norwich to Brandon and from Reedham to Lowestoft and were worked by the Eastern Counties Railway from 8 May 1848. The Lynn & Ely, Lynn & Dereham and Ely & Huntingdon Railways merged to form the East Anglian Railway in 1846. The Eastern Union Railway (EUR) opened from Colchester to Ipswich on 15 June 1846 and this absorbed several minor railways including the Ipswich & Bury opened 7 December 1846. The EUR reached Norwich Victoria on 7 November 1849. The East Suffolk Railway and Newmarket Railway were further elements in the dismal attempt, which has never been completed, to build a railway into East Anglia.
Since July 1885 the locomotive superintendent had been James Holden whose appreciation of assistance is acknowledged as were the suppliers Robert Stephenson, Kitson and Sharp Stewart. The first person to be in charge of locomotives was J. Braithwaite, the engineer of the line, wo constructed repair shops about 1¼ miles beyond Romford possibly to be near his residence at Hare Hall. Fernihough, who came from Bury's works was appointed locomotive superintendent in 1843. He was responsible for converting the locomotives when the gauge was changed from 5ft in 1844 and was blamed for the serious accident which occurred at Littlebury on 4 August 1845, and this led to his resignation. Scott was brought in from Derby as replacement at the behest of George Hudson: under Scott the Stratford works and running shed were started, but John Hunter was put in overall charge from the autum of 1846. The new works opened in 1848. In August 1850 J.V. Gooch was appointed locomotive superintendent and held the office for six years. Robert Sinclair became the first locomotive superintendent of the Great Eastern Railway as such and also acted as engineer-in-chief. He retired in December 1865, and was replaced (for locomotive affairs) by William Kitson until June 1866 when S.W. Johnson became chief until 1873 when he left to move to Derby. W. Adams came from the North London Railway until leaving for the LSWR in 1878. Massey Bromley then held sway until 1881. There was a brief interregnum under M. Gillies, until T.W. Worsdell came from Crewe Works.
The plate was a photograph taken by George Macallan. Visible in the picture are W.H. Maw of Engineering, president of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and W.H. Kitson, chairman of the Leeds Wheel & Axle Co. These and Macallan had served their apprenticeship under J.V. Gooch and Sinclair at the Stratford shops.

Continued from page 138, Purchase of 0-4-0T (wing tank) with inside frame and inside cylinders from R. & W. Hawthorn for shunting named Magnus. 4ft coupled wheels and 13 x 18in cylinders. Due to frequent derailments the locomotive was converted to an 0-4-2T and renamed Magnet. Scrapped at Longhedge Works in 1881. An 0-6-0 with inside cylinders (12 x 18in) and inside frames and 4ft coupled wheels was purchased from Brotherhood of Chippenham and named Swale. It had an iron firebox and iron tubes and did not steam well: once it took 3 hours to haul the Duke of Cambridge the 35 miles from London to Chatham. It was withdrawn in 1881 and there is no illustration. Two 2-2-2 tender engines were supplied by R. & W. Hawthorn in (WN 942/1855 and 943/1855) for passenger traffic. These had inside 14 x 18in cylinders and outside frames; the driving wheels were 5ft 9in diameter. They were named Meteor and Eclipse and were similar to Hawthorn locomotives borrowed from the GNR and illustrated in Fig. 1 (p. 124). Eclipse was involved in a derailment at the end of 1860 near Teynham in which the driver and fireman were killed. William Martley was appointed Locomotive Superintendent in April 1860. Previously he had been District Locomotive Superintendent for the South Wales Division of the GWR.

The BG locos, of the G.W.R. and the locomotive history of the L. C. & D. R. F.S.H.
When letter writer went to the Swindon Works in 1862 there was an old tank engine named Viper in the yard with inside frames and single driving wheels, not outside frames as shown in Fig. 16, page 62, the accuracy of which you say is doubtful. The Great Western remained to the last, as shown in Fig. 36, page 148, except that its regulator was altered to the broad gauge standard pattern of a slide in the smokebox, worked by means of a transverse lever at the back of the firebox, pulling outwards. The Elk class, Fig. 40, page 149, had their regulators altered to the dome, worked by a handle with a sector at the back of the firebox In the usual manner. The Peri of this class was placed in the Wolverhampton district, where Joseph Armstrong put in new cylinders with the steam chest between them, and a direct acting Stephenson link motion instead of the rocking shafts which were retained in the other five engines. He also added side plates to protect the men from the wind, and I think a weather plate with glasses, but of this I am not certain. These enzines were remarkable at that penod for their high speed, and they did good service for many years between Didcot and Birmingham, running trains in opposition to those of the LNWR. With reference to the locomotive history of tile London, Chatham & Dover Ry., page 164. October number. I went to Longhedge Works from Swindon in September, 1864, and the Swale was altered into a tank engine after that date, as I remember doing some of the work for it in the fitting and machine shop. It had a dome, with a painted iron cap, which passed through the saddle tank. The Maznus had a pair of trailing wheels added previous to the date mentioned above,.but I do not think its name was altered to Magnet until Wm. Kirtley was the locomotive superantendent. Both these engines were used for shunting passenger trains at Victoria Station. The Meteor and Eclipse had been converted into side tank engines before I went to Longhedge in 1864, and worked between Beckenham and Crystal Palace (Low Level).

The Orient Express. K. v. Golsdorf.
In October number there are some points needing correction in your article descriptive of the run of the Orient Express. You state that a six-coupled compound is employed to haul the train from Linz to Vienna, whereas on that section we use engines of the same type as you mention as bringing the express from Salzburg to Linz, namely., large four-coupled compounds of my system and design, series 106. Again, on the section Vienna to Marchegg the engine spoken of and illustrated is stated to be a compound on my system, This is not so, for although greatly resembling my engines of the series 106, these .under notice are simple engines built under the supervision of Mr. D. Gerstner, superintendent of motive power of the Oesterrichische Staats Eisenbahn Gesellschaft.

On Saturday, 12 October, all the "business" trains (8-11 a.m.) arrived at the Liverpool St. terminus on time with the exception of one, which was 2 minutes late, This, of course, means the departures were also correspondingly exact, and as some 160 trains were concerned, it probably represents a record. for our chief London suburban railway.

A Manual of Locomotive Engineering. 2nd edition. W.F. Pettigrew and A.F. Ravenshear. Charles Griffin.
Criticism of lack of revision and notes some errors.The early advent of a second edition of the above comprehensive work fully confirms the good opinion we had of it when first noticed in Volume 4. Clearly and amply illustrated, the book forms a complete treatise on the modern locomotive. with all its latest improvements, and as onc of ihe authors isa locomotive engineer of experience and standing its value for reference is greatly enhanced. In this edition we notice some corrections to the matter of the first, and many additions to the diagrams in the shape of latest types. When referring to the 900 class of the Caledonian we think the author confuses some of the dimensions with those of "Dunalastair II." Unless we are mistaken these engines have boilers with 1,600 sq. fr. of heating surface and carry 200 lbs. steam pressure. It is strange, too, the newer types of L. B. & S. C. R. locomotives are quite neglected, and one of the uninitiated looking through the appendix B would be under the impression that the company was still minus the standard four-coupled bogie express engine, and had not yet adopted cast steel wheel centres. Appendix C has apparently not undergone sufficient revision to make it correct for 1901

Practical workshop mechanics. Wallace Bentley, Halifax: Bentley Publishing Co.,
A capital little handbook, giving many rules and memoranda useful to the practical engineer. Wheel gear, belts and pulleys, screws, etc, are all lucidly dealt with, and tables of weights and measures included.

The indicator handbook. C.N. Pickworth. Parts I and II. Manchester: Emmott & Co.
The two volumes mentioned certainly fill any want which has been hitherto felt for a reliable guide to the steam indicator and its diagrams, In Part 1. the mechanism is investigated 'and explained, all likely causes of error being carefully pointed out. In Part II. the diagrams taken are fully discussed and explained, as well as the methods of measuring, etc. Diagrams from steam and gas engines are reviewed, as well as those taken from air compressing machinery. The work is well illustrated, and we have confidence in recommending it to all practical men. As a suggestion we would like to see in a future edition the rigging shown for a standard British locomotive, and also the author's analysis of some locomotive diagrams.

Chisholm, A.J. The Garstang & Knott End Ry. and its locomotives. 202. illustration.
Ran from Garstang and Catterall, a station on the London and North-Western main line (a few miles north of Preston) to Pilling, a Lancashire village. It was originally intended to carry the line on from Pilling to the coast. The objective point was Knott End, which. is immediately opposite Fleetwood, and connected thereto by a ferry .. The capital raised by the Garstang & Knott End Co. was, unfortunately, insufficient to complete the scheme, consequently Pilling is the terminus. At the time the article was written the line terminated at Pilling and the locomotive stock was limited to two Nos. 1 Jubilee Queen and 2 New Century (latter illustrated). Latter was an outside cylinder 0-6-0ST built by Hudswell Clarke & Co. in 1900. It had 15 x 20in cylinders and 3ft 6in coupled wheels. It was painted dark red lined black white and red. The boiler pressure was 140 psi.

Haydock Colliery locomotives. 203-4. illustration., diagram.
Jonah Evans design of outside cylinder 0-6-0ST built at Haydock Foundry. The first four were named: Hercules, Amazon, Bellerophon and Makerfield and atarted work in 1871. Two further, numbers 5 Pan and 6 Golborne were constructed later.. The motion was unusual and differed between the first two (a form of Stephenson with open links) and the remainder (Gooch's box links) and further differed in that the eccentrics were set at right angles to the drag crank. The locomotives operated over the lines from the collieries onto lines of the LNWR and GCR.

They were originally named Victoria and Albert, but were numbered 9 and 10, and subsequently 16 and 17: the former was sold to a Dartford cement works, whilst the latter had been partially dismantled at the South Dock shed.  Nos. 1-4 were 0-6-0STs constructed by Dübs (WN 1438-41) in 1881. These had 15 x 20in outside cylinders, 3ft 6in coupled wheels and 120 psi boilers. They were being rebuilt with 130 psi boilers.
