Product Description
The first paperback edition of this volume to be published by Model and Allied Publications was in 1973 and a revised edition was published (black cover) in 1981. The previous editions were both hardback (from 1962 and 1967). At 98 pages long, and illustrated with 35 black and white photos (between pages 58 and 59), this book deals with all the well known, and several lesser known, valve gears in detail, with instructions and hints for the model locomotive builder (or budding builder!) The book deals comprehensively with a subject which gives rise to many queries among those building model locomotives. It is essential to all interested in steam locomotives: the cylinders and valve gear of the steam locomotive are probably the most important components of the whole machine. Were it not for the valves which distribute the steam to the cylinders, and the valve gear that controls them, a locomotive could not move at all. However large and efficient the boiler fitted, or however much high-pressure steam may be available, unless the valves and valve gear are properly designed and accurately fitted, the locomotive will be a failure. This book helps with the design of valve gears and the best proportions of cylinders and valves; it also makes use of the basic material in Martin Evans' previous book Manual of Model Steam Locomotive Construction. The book revises this material and adds extra information and data; additional valve types have been included as well. Chapters: 1. Basic Proportions; 2. Single-Eccentric and Slip-Eccentric Gears; 3. The Stephenson Link Valve Gear; 4. The Gooch and Allan Straight-Link Valve Gears; 5. Radial Valve Gears Part 1; 6. Radial Valve Gears Part 2; 7. Valve Gears for Three and Four-Cylinder Engines; 8. Poppet Valve Gears; 9. Cab Reversing Gear, Valve Setting and the Indicator. Contains many illustrations and plates
