Stoomlocomotieven: boeken - techniek en bediening (2/2)

Dampflok - Technik und Funktion

Steam locomotives have lost none of their fascination to this day. Wherever one of these steel giants appears, it attracts many people. This is not surprising: no other vehicle converts the three elements of fire, water and coal into power and movement so impressively.

Die Dampflok im Bahnbetriebswerk

The steam locomotive depot still holds a special attraction for all steam locomotive enthusiasts. Nowhere else can you get so close to the steam locomotive and smell the unmistakable smell of coal, soot and hot oil.

Bladzijden uit het boek "Die Dampflok im Bahnbetriebswerk"

Professional railway workers had a much less romantic experience of the railway depot: for them it meant primarily hard work. Here the machines were supplied with water and coal, the boiler was washed out, the smoke chamber was cleaned and the engine was oiled. Repairs were just as much a part of everyday life as work to deadlines.
This book describes everyday life in the steam locomotive railway depot in detail.

Enthusiasts will find here an extremely precise and detailed manual, history enthusiasts the methodical study of steam engines as well as photos of old locomotives, the modeler engravings and dimensioned diagrams.
One can only be impressed by the extent of Édouard Sauvage's knowledge and admiring in front of this monument dedicated to trains and their maintenance.

La Locomotive (réédition de l'édition originale de 1920)

The Boiler, the Engine, the Vehicle and finally the Tender make up the four parts of this book. Ulysse Lamalle and Fernand Legein know what they are talking about: the first was a Civil Engineer of Mines, the second, a Civil Engineer mechanic and both spent their lives in trains, studying them to improve them constantly. Although technical, this book is accessible to all.

More than 320 engravings, diagrams and plans illustrate this text and improve its understanding. Here, all the technical parts and the various elements of the locomotive first, then of the tender are dissected and analyzed. The reversal of the direction of travel is described at length, supported by engravings, as are the brakes, essential organs which have largely contributed to making the railway one of the safest means of transport in the modern world.

This book is also illustrated with many magnificent black and white photographs of locomotives and drivers in action that the Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Belges and enthusiasts have kindly made available to us for this reissue and which will allow the "Old-timers" to rediscover the very special atmosphere of this universe.

A very beautiful book on the steam locomotive that is becoming more and more distant...
A genuine reissue. This book is not a facsimile.
