HOW TO DRIVE A STEAM LOCOMOTIVE | 34 M I C R O S O FT T R A I N S I M U LATO R ENGINEER'S HANDBOOK Problem: Black smoke What it means: Black smoke indicates inefficient combustion of the coal. How to diagnose: Black smoke is expelled from the exhaust stack. How to avoid: Over time, you will gain experience in firing the locomotive. In general, black smoke is caused by a cool fire, often due to an inadequate amount of air passing through the firebox. This can be caused by too much coal on the fire, closed dampers, or not enough draft for the fire (in which case you should turn on the blower). Whenever you add coal to the fire, some black smoke is generated until the coal is hot enough to burn completely. What to do: Open the damper or fire doors, and/or turn on the blower. Problem: What it means: Low steam pressure Aside from the obvious problem of lack of motive power, low steam pressure is dangerous because steam powers the water injectors and also keeps the brakes off. Low steam pressure could cause a boiler failure (because water cannot be injected into the boiler) and can cause the train brakes to be applied. How to diagnose: Low pressure is indicated on the steam pressure gauge, and the brakes may come on. It continues to capture the hearts of steam enthusiasts around the world. 4472 has made several special tours, including journeys to America and Australia that made it the only steam locomotive to have run on three continents. In Australia, it broke its own long-distance record with a non-stop run of 422 miles. Tony Marchington, Flying Scotsman recently underwent a major restoration and is back on the rails pulling a consist of luxury coaches on journeys throughout the United Kingdom. Wheel Classification The wheel arrangement of the Flying Scotsman is classified using the Whyte System, which counts the number of leading, driving, and trailing wheels. Flying Scotsman is a 4-6-2, meaning that it has four leading wheels (two axles), six driving wheels (three axles), and two trailing wheels (one axle). Only the driving wheels are powered; the other wheels provide better tracking at high speed and carry the weight of the firebox.
