GWR Thunderer locomotive : ウィキペディア英語版 | GWR Thunderer locomotive
''Thunderer'' was the first of a pair of locomotives (the other being ''Hurricane'') built for the Great Western Railway (GWR), England, by R. & W. Hawthorn & Co. whose design was very different from other steam locomotives. In order to meet Isambard Kingdom Brunel's strict specifications, an 0-4-0 frame carried the 'engine', while the boiler was on a separate six-wheeled frame. The driving wheels were geared 10:27 in order to reduce the cylinder stroke speed while allowing high track speed, in line with the specifications. The locomotive was delivered to the GWR on 6 March 1838 and ceased work in December 1839 after running only 9,882 miles, but its boiler section was kept as a stationary boiler. ==See also==
