just for the record, bulleid pacific's were never streamlined. they had "air smoothed casing" :-)
@47606odin7 жыл бұрын
they were never called streamlined by Bulleid. he stated it was air smoothed casings. it was a way of getting authority to build them at the time

Wasn't the idea to enable the locos to be cleaned using carriage-cleaning machinery?
@47606odin7 жыл бұрын
i think that was 1 reason behind it
@markturner42196 жыл бұрын
That wasn't the reason. They are not streamlined. The casing was to enable them to use the automatic train washing equipment. The most basic knowledge of streamlining would show it is about the worst shape possible for reducing air resistanc. The rebuilds are more streamlined. He wangled permission to build them by designating them as mixed traffic engines.
