| Post subject: | US / UK / German steam design |
I was just going down a wikipedia rabbit hole on German steam locomotives and I realized how familiar but also strange they look compared to US and UK steam power. It seems like there are a couple things that stand out about German steam power. There often seems to be quite a bit more piping visible around the boilers (especially compared to UK steam). Tenders are designed quite differently (especially on the class 52s). And then there's the paint practices: black uppers and red lowers. Is anyone here enough of an expert on German steam to explain how it evolved the way it did compared to other countries? |
