Vienna exhibition 2-4-0 Locomotives in Great_Britain


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 9965)

Data from Robert Henry Thurston, Reports of the Commissioners of the United States to the International Exhibition Held at Vienna, 1873 (Washington, DC: USGPO, 1876), p 61. See also W H Maw and William Dredge, "Locomotives", Reports on the Vienna Universal Exhibition, Part II (London: George Eyre and William Spottiswoode, 1874), p. 399.

The commissioners didn't say if this locomotive went into service with any particular operator, but complimented the builder (later known as Peckett) on the locomotive's "good workmanship and apparently of excellent material. The design is in each case neat, and the engines seem well fitted for doing good work."

Her Majesty's representatives Maw and Dredge agreed on the "very neat" design. They commented in particular in the firm's adoption of "...the American practice of making their connecting and coupling rod brasses so that they cover the ends of the crank pins and to a great extent exclude dust from the bearings."
