Penlan Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 3 hours ago, webbcompound said: I fear you are sadly mistaken. the sainted Webb did produce an Atlantic, prosaicly known by the LNWR as the "Improved 6'0" eight wheeled compound engine" (because ten wheels was an improvement on eight), but known more usually as the "Empress of India Class" Technically, with its radial bogie and compound drivers it was a 2-2-2-2, but to all intents and purposes it was an Atlantic, Apart from the 1907 drawing, is there any other record of it being built/converted to this 10 wheeled version. I'm surprised Ted Talbot hasn't mentioned it in one of his books, unless I've missed it. But basically it's not an Atlantic, because the two drivers are not directly coupled, in my opinion. However I leave it to wiser heads than mine to sort that one out 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised Ted Talbot hasn't mentioned it in one of his books, unless I've missed it. After the succesfull exhibition of the Queen Empress at the Chicago World Exposition in 1893 the Empress of India was also sent to America where it was believed to have influenced the Baldwin Company who were designing an new loco for the Atlantic City Line. The loco was aboard the SS Hanoverian, an Allen Line ship which set off from Baltimore for Liverpool in the summer of 1885. Unfortunately the ship went down and the locomotive was lost.

BTW it's haddock every time for me, though I can't see the point in mushy peas. Oh! and if you're in that city in the East which we from the West hesitate to name, they'll ask if you want salt and sauce rather than salt and vinegar. Funny folk in E..... Oops, nearly did it then! Jim My memory of Scotland (East and West) is that you can order fish or special fish. If you want chips with it then order a fish supper. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was not one of the then Crewe apprentices, one H N Gresley, very impressed by these locomotives? For all his foibles, Mr Webb seems to been responsible for training a number of very well thought of engineers. Which one of the above class was painted ivory white? Shame that never caught on.
