First published in 1928, this is a classic guide to a the Three-Cylinder Compound Locomotive, a type of steam-powered engine used in trains. The first example of such an engine was built for the old Midland Railway in January, 1902. With detailed explanations and simple diagrams, this volume provides a complete overview of the engine and its inner workings. Highly recommended for vintage locomotive enthusiasts. Contents include: “Air Valves”, “Action in the Cylinders”, “Arithmetic”, “Bye-Pass Valves”, “Compound Expansion of Steam”, “Compound System Adopted”, “Compound Regulator Valve”, “Carbonation”, “Failures and Remedies”, “Handling the Engine”, “Horse Power”, “Leading the Engine”, “Horse Power”, “Leading Dimensions and Rations”, “Lubrication”, “Non-Return Valves”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.

Excerpt from American Compound Locomotives: A Practical Explanation of the Construction, Operation and Care of the Compound Locomotives in Use on American Railroads As the result of rebuilding the little Baxter engine on the Worcester & Shrewsbury Railroad, about thirty years ago, my father, Henry F. Colvin, became an advocate of the compound locomotive. His suggestions and designs have materially aided in the development of this type of locomotive, and his friendly counsel and criticism have been of great assistance to the author in preparing this work. To him this book is affectionately dedicated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
