Articulated Steam Locomotives of North America
Like many other books, Articulated Steam Locomotives of North America began as a modest attempt to chronicle a certain type of locomotive---in this case, the Mallet-articulated locomotive in the U.S.A. This project soon ballooned into unanticipated magnitude. It wasn't long before it became evident that Canadian and Mexican engines could not logically be ignored; they were an important part of the story. After that, one thing quickly led to another. By including the double-truck Fairlies, one was obliged to recognize their single-truck counterparts, as well as several mechanical hybrids which defied accurate classification. Locomotives having geared trucks were indeed articulated; thus, some...
Articulated Locomotives
Articulated locomotives properly so called - semi-articulated locomotives - Temporary articulated locomotives or locomotives with auxiliary engines - Utilisation of the tender's weight for propulsion.
Norfolk & Western's Y-Class Articulated Steam Locomotives
This book details the history of Norfolk & Western's Y-Class 2-8-8-2 compound articulated (Mallet) steam locomotives from their inception in 1910 through to the last built in 1952. Photos, drawings, maps, tables, and text tell the story of America's most successful and longest-lived compound articulated steam locomotive class.
How Steam Locomotives Really Work
The technology underlying steam trains was one of the foundations of the industrial revolution in the 19th Century, and although it has since been replaced, steam trains can still be found all over the world, in preserved railways and museums. This book describes their components, and how thy work: and considers their development over 150 years all over the world.

Garratt Locomotives
From 1855 to 1966 nearly 8,000 railroad locomotives were built at the Gorton Foundry, near Manchester England, by Beyer, Peacock & Co. Ltd. Some of these steam locomotives were the famous elongated Garratts which have fascinated railfans for years.The Garrett locomotive allowed railroads to increase tonnage and reduced operating time between stations, as well as the number of trains run on a line. In the 1925 catalog, the Garratts shown had tractive effort capabilities of between 7,950 pounds and 69,150 pounds at 75% boiler pressure.The 11-1/4" x 8-1/2” softbound reprinted catalog features a four-color cover, and shows the Garrett locomotives that were delivered to the Argentine North-Eastern Railway, Burma Railways, Benguella Railway, Indian State Railway, London & North-Eastern Railway, Mauritius Government Railways, Rhodesia Railways, South African Railways and the Victorian Government Railways, among others.
