QUOTE: Originally posted by DeLuxe I also heard that the DM&IR was using 0-10-2´s on their ore trains....
QUOTE: Originally posted by joesap1 Thanks for the clarification. There is still a bit of confusion since one lists a Mallet as a compound steam engine. While another says a Mallet only has one set of its drive wheels that pivot. Probably both definitions are true, depending on the particular locomotive. Is this a correct assumption?
QUOTE: Originally posted by AltonFan However, compounding was was revived to reduce the weight of running gear. 4-10-2s and the 4-12-2 were all three-cylinder compounds with high pressure cylinders on the outside, and a high pressue cylinder cast into the locomotive frame. The center cylinder drove a rod connected to a crank on the main axle.
