'Leader' was the work of one man, the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the Southern Railway, O.V.S. Bullied. He was an innovator, sometimes beyond the means of the Southern Railway to maintain or even perhaps understand his slightly unconventional designs. In the immediate post-war years, he devised a design for a steam locomotive that would embody the latest thinking on valve gear and boiler design, plus would have lower maintenance costs and be able to be driven from either end like the new diesel and electric engines. The design was too revolutionary; the one completed engine lasted only until 1951, never entered revenue-earning traffic and its design features were not repeated elsewhere. This is the story of a fascinating 'might-have-been'. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
