Belpaire firebox

The Belpaire firebox is a type of firebox used on steam locomotives.

See Steam dome and Belpaire firebox

Boiler

A boiler is a closed vessel in which fluid (generally water) is heated.

See Steam dome and Boiler

Boiling water reactor

A boiling water reactor (BWR) is a type of light water nuclear reactor used for the generation of electrical power.

See Steam dome and Boiling water reactor

Centrifugal governor

A centrifugal governor is a specific type of governor with a feedback system that controls the speed of an engine by regulating the flow of fuel or working fluid, so as to maintain a near-constant speed.

See Steam dome and Centrifugal governor

Cylinder (locomotive)

The cylinder is the power-producing element of the steam engine powering a steam locomotive. Steam dome and cylinder (locomotive) are locomotive parts.

See Steam dome and Cylinder (locomotive)

Daniel Gooch

Sir Daniel Gooch, 1st Baronet (24 August 1816 – 15 October 1889) was an English railway locomotive and transatlantic cable engineer.

David & Charles

David & Charles Ltd is an English publishing company.

Firebox (steam engine)

In a steam engine, the firebox is the area where the fuel is burned, producing heat to boil the water in the boiler. Steam dome and firebox (steam engine) are steam boiler components.

See Steam dome and Firebox (steam engine)

Flued boiler

A shell or flued boiler is an early and relatively simple form of boiler used to make steam, usually for the purpose of driving a steam engine.

See Steam dome and Flued boiler

GER Class F48

The GER Class F48 was a class of sixty 0-6-0 steam tender locomotives designed by James Holden for the Great Eastern Railway in Great Britain.

GWR 4073 Class

The 4073 or Castle Class are 4-6-0 steam locomotives of the Great Western Railway, built between 1923 and 1950.

See Steam dome and GWR 4073 Class

Haycock boiler

A haycock boiler is an early form of steam locomotive boiler with a prominently raised firebox of "Gothic arch", "haystack", or "coppernob" shape.

See Steam dome and Haycock boiler

Hydrolock

Hydrolock (a shorthand notation for hydrostatic lock or hydraulic lock) is an abnormal condition of any device which is designed to compress a gas by mechanically restraining it; most commonly the reciprocating internal combustion engine, the case this article refers to unless otherwise noted.

LNER Class A1

Class A1 in the London and North Eastern Railway's classification system may refer to any of the following British steam locomotives.

See Steam dome and LNER Class A1

Loading gauge

A loading gauge is a diagram or physical structure that defines the maximum height and width dimensions in railway vehicles and their loads.

See Steam dome and Loading gauge

Priming (steam locomotive)

Priming is a condition in the boiler of a steam locomotive in which water is carried over into the steam delivery.

See Steam dome and Priming (steam locomotive)

Safety valve

A safety valve is a valve that acts as a fail-safe. Steam dome and safety valve are locomotive parts and steam boiler components.

See Steam dome and Safety valve

Sandbox (locomotive)

A sandbox is a container on most locomotives, multiple units and trams that holds sand, which is dropped on the rail in front of the driving wheels in wet and slippery conditions and on steep grades to improve traction. Steam dome and sandbox (locomotive) are locomotive parts.

See Steam dome and Sandbox (locomotive)

Scotch marine boiler

A "Scotch" marine boiler (or simply Scotch boiler) is a design of steam boiler best known for its use on ships.

See Steam dome and Scotch marine boiler

Steam drum

A steam drum is a standard feature of a water-tube boiler. Steam dome and steam drum are steam boiler components.

See Steam dome and Steam drum

Steam engine

A steam engine is a heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid.

See Steam dome and Steam engine

Steam separator

A steam separator, sometimes referred to as a moisture separator or steam drier, is a device for separating water droplets from steam. Steam dome and steam separator are steam boiler components.

See Steam dome and Steam separator

Three-drum boiler

Three-drum boilers are a class of water-tube boiler used to generate steam, typically to power ships.

See Steam dome and Three-drum boiler

Top hat

A top hat (also called a high hat, or, informally, a topper) is a tall, flat-crowned hat traditionally associated with formal wear in Western dress codes, meaning white tie, morning dress, or frock coat.

See Steam dome and Top hat

Traction engine

A traction engine is a steam-powered tractor used to move heavy loads on roads, plough ground or to provide power at a chosen location.

See Steam dome and Traction engine

Water-tube boiler

A high pressure watertube boiler (also spelled water-tube and water tube) is a type of boiler in which water circulates in tubes heated externally by fire.

See Steam dome and Water-tube boiler

Wrought iron

Wrought iron is an iron alloy with a very low carbon content (less than 0.05%) in contrast to that of cast iron (2.1% to 4.5%).

See Steam dome and Wrought iron
