0-4-0: Difference between revisions

 

The [[Pennsylvania Railroad]] kept producing {{nowrap|0-4-0}} classes long after all other major railroads had abandoned development of the type, building their final ''[[PRR A5s|A5s]]'' class into the 1920s. The ''A5s'' was a monster among {{nowrap|0-4-0s}}, larger than many {{nowrap|[[0-6-0]]}} designs, with modern features found on few others of its type, such as [[superheater|superheating]], [[power reverse]], and [[Piston valve (steam engine)|piston valves]]. The [[Pennsy]] continued to build the type because it had a large amount of confined and tight industrial track, more than most other railroads had.

==0-4-0 Diesel locomotives==

The wheel arrangement was also used on a number of small 0-4-0DM [[Diesel locomotive#Diesel-mechanical|diesel-mechanical]] [[Switcher|shunters]] produced by [[John Fowler & Co.]] and other builders in the 1930s and earlier. Similarly, it was perpetuated on a number of diesel-mechanical and {{nowrap|0-4-0DH}} [[Diesel locomotive#Diesel-hydraulic|diesel-hydraulic]] classes between 1953 and 1960 (see the [[List of British Rail modern traction locomotive classes]]). Many of these were later sold for industrial use.
