Talk:Steam locomotive components

message: There are differences in nomenclature between US - English - European, how come there is no acknowledgement of this in such an important article?SatuSuro 14:58, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: SatSuro, I agree that would be an improvement. How about being bold and starting to add some? The one thing to be careful of is that some components may have multiple names in different locales. We don't want to over-clutter the article. I'll jump in and add a few myself too.

Such operations normally require compliance with Federal and State regulations.
The Federal regulations are 49CFR Part 230. State requirements require that the manufacturer contact the State for applicable requirements.

thread_title:  Steam Locomotive Code 

message: I just finished reading Stephen Ambrose's "Nothing Like It in the World: The Men Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad 1863-1869" which is an excellent book.  It has a picture in the middle which shows the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads meeting "in a famous photograph by AJ Russell.  The CP's engine Jupiter is on the left (it is using wood for fuel; thus the smokestack is round and covered by a screen to catch sparks).  The UP's Engine No. 119 is on the right (it used coal for fuel and thus had a straight smokestack)."
My question is why do wood-burning engines need round (ie: conical) smokestacks?  The best guess I've heard so far is that it stops the screen from getting clogged easily, but I haven't found anything definitive.  Any help answering the question would be appreciated.  69.23.97.246 (talk) 15:10, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

message: With 's  comments I see no prospect of a concensus to proceed so I am withdrawing the offer.  Issues mentioned were not insurmountable but due to RL considerations I am not proceeding.  Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 16:09, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: With respect, , I did not see my comment as interrupting the likelihood of consensus – reflected in my "happy to revert" remark. I just mentioned a factor brought up by another editor (i.e., rather larger content than in the Armour article you mentioned earlier) as a possible problem. No more, no less. As far as I'm concerned, I'm not fussed which way you go. PS: I don't know what you mean by "RL considerations". RL?  SCHolar44 (talk) 03:49, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

message: Consensus will need to be gained here, as this was an undiscussed move under this discussion, which as it happens I object to.  Please raise a formal move discussion if this move is required.  Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 16:22, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought there was enough consensus among several people's remarks for this to be a no-brainer. Personally I'm not bothered either way, so I defer to your objection and will not raise a formal move discussion. SCHolar44 (talk) 03:54, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
