Good afternoon from the UK,

 

Thanks for the information. I had never noticed these items before despite having been alongside 1218. The locos were miracles of design. It is interesting to speculate what might have followed them had steam continued in operation. This might be a launch point for a lot of correspondence and slaving over drawing boards/computer screens.

 

Regards

These were headers on each side getting steam from the jointed piping just aft.  The headers on each side were connected by a pressure equalization pipe from which pipes to the cylinders on each side were connected.  None of the N&W articulateds had “flexible” piping, meaning that the piping itself flexed.  They were all jointed.

What are the cylindrical items located above the main cylinders on the locomotive. They appear to be something linked to the steam or exhaust pipework.

Phil,
    It is the ball joint housing for the front engine.
