Birmingham & Derby Junction 2-2-2 Locomotives in Great_Britain

Class Birmingham (Locobase 8574)

Data from Vulcan Foundry Magazine ([], accessed 14 July 2007). Boiler pressure is an estimate.

The third of this trio of locomotives (the other two are described in Locobase 8573) differed from the first two in that it had larger and fewer tubes. Otherwise, it was similar in having the two domes, one over the firebox and the other over the tubes just behind the tall stack. It also had large carrying wheels closely spaced with the drivers and cylinders inclined slightly below the horizontal axis. The firebox hung down between the drivers and the rear axles.

Data from Vulcan Foundry Magazine ([], accessed 14 July 2007). Boiler pressure is an estimate.

The first two were supplied to the D & J along with a third that had a different tube layout (see Locobase 8574). The design sported two domes, one over the firebox and the other over the tubes just behind the tall stack. It also had large carrying wheels closely spaced with the drivers and cylinders inclined slightly below the horizontal axis. The firebox hung down between the drivers and the rear axles.
