  2. 0-2-2 locomotives

Adhesion railway

An adhesion railway relies on adhesion traction to move the train, and is the most widespread and common type of railway in the world.

See 0-2-2 and Adhesion railway

Blastpipe

The blastpipe is part of the exhaust system of a steam locomotive that discharges exhaust steam from the cylinders into the smokebox beneath the chimney in order to increase the draught through the fire.

See 0-2-2 and Blastpipe

Chain drive

Chain drive is a way of transmitting mechanical power from one place to another.

See 0-2-2 and Chain drive

Couple (mechanics)

In mechanics, a couple is a system of forces with a resultant (a.k.a. net or sum) moment of force but no resultant force.

See 0-2-2 and Couple (mechanics)

Coupling rod

A coupling rod or side rod connects the driving wheels of a locomotive.

See 0-2-2 and Coupling rod

Cylinder (locomotive)

The cylinder is the power-producing element of the steam engine powering a steam locomotive.

See 0-2-2 and Cylinder (locomotive)

Driving wheel

On a steam locomotive, a driving wheel is a powered wheel which is driven by the locomotive's pistons (or turbine, in the case of a steam turbine locomotive).

See 0-2-2 and Driving wheel

Firebox (steam engine)

In a steam engine, the firebox is the area where the fuel is burned, producing heat to boil the water in the boiler.

See 0-2-2 and Firebox (steam engine)

French locomotive classification

Under the French classification system for locomotive wheel arrangements, the system is slightly different for steam and electric/diesel vehicles.

George Stephenson

George Stephenson (9 June 1781 – 12 August 1848) was an English civil engineer and mechanical engineer during the Industrial Revolution.

See 0-2-2 and George Stephenson

John Braithwaite (engineer)

John Braithwaite, the younger (19 March 1797 – 25 September 1870), was an English engineer who invented the first steam fire engine.

See 0-2-2 and John Braithwaite (engineer)

John Ericsson

John Ericsson (born Johan Ericsson; July 31, 1803 – March 8, 1889) was a Swedish-American engineer and inventor.

See 0-2-2 and John Ericsson

Killingworth locomotives

George Stephenson built a number of experimental steam locomotives to work in the Killingworth Colliery between 1814 and 1826.

See 0-2-2 and Killingworth locomotives

Lancashire Witch

Lancashire Witch was an early steam locomotive built by Robert Stephenson and Company in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1828.

See 0-2-2 and Lancashire Witch

Leading wheel

The leading wheel or leading axle or pilot wheel of a steam locomotive is an unpowered wheel or axle located in front of the driving wheels.

See 0-2-2 and Leading wheel

Liverpool and Manchester Railway

The Liverpool and Manchester Railway (L&MR) was the first inter-city railway in the world.

See 0-2-2 and Liverpool and Manchester Railway

Locomotive frame

A locomotive frame is the structure that forms the backbone of the railway locomotive, giving it strength and supporting the superstructure elements such as a cab, boiler or bodywork.

See 0-2-2 and Locomotive frame

LSWR C14 class

The London and South Western Railway C14 class was a class of ten 2-2-0 tank locomotives intended to work push–pull trains on lightly used lines in 1907.

See 0-2-2 and LSWR C14 class

Northumbrian (locomotive)

Northumbrian was an early steam locomotive built by Robert Stephenson in 1830 and used at the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway (L&M). 0-2-2 and Northumbrian (locomotive) are 0-2-2 locomotives.

See 0-2-2 and Northumbrian (locomotive)

Novelty (locomotive)

Novelty was an early steam locomotive built by John Ericsson and John Braithwaite to take part in the Rainhill Trials in 1829.

See 0-2-2 and Novelty (locomotive)

Office of Public Sector Information

The Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI) is the body responsible for the operation of His Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO) and of other public information services of the United Kingdom.

Railmotor

Railmotor is a term used in the United Kingdom and elsewhere for a railway lightweight railcar, usually consisting of a railway carriage with a steam traction unit, or a diesel or petrol engine, integrated into it.

See 0-2-2 and Railmotor

Rainhill trials

The Rainhill trials was an important competition run from the 6 to 14 October 1829, to test George Stephenson's argument that locomotives would have the best motive power for the then nearly-completed Liverpool and Manchester Railway (L&MR).

See 0-2-2 and Rainhill trials

Robert Stephenson and Company

Robert Stephenson and Company was a locomotive manufacturing company founded in 1823 in Forth Street, Newcastle upon Tyne in England.

See 0-2-2 and Robert Stephenson and Company

Smokebox

A smokebox is one of the major basic parts of a steam locomotive exhaust system.

See 0-2-2 and Smokebox

Steam locomotive

A steam locomotive is a locomotive that provides the force to move itself and other vehicles by means of the expansion of steam.

See 0-2-2 and Steam locomotive

Stephenson's Rocket

Stephenson's Rocket is an early steam locomotive of 0-2-2 wheel arrangement. 0-2-2 and Stephenson's Rocket are 0-2-2 locomotives.

See 0-2-2 and Stephenson's Rocket

Swiss locomotive and railcar classification

For more than a century, the Swiss locomotive, multiple unit, motor coach and railcar classification system, in either its original or updated forms, has been used to name and classify the rolling stock operated on the railways of Switzerland.

See 0-2-2 and Swiss locomotive and railcar classification

Tank locomotive

A tank locomotive is a steam locomotive which carries its water in one or more on-board water tanks, instead of a more traditional tender.

See 0-2-2 and Tank locomotive

Trailing wheel

On a steam locomotive, a trailing wheel or trailing axle is generally an unpowered wheel or axle (wheelset) located behind the driving wheels.

See 0-2-2 and Trailing wheel

Turkish locomotive classification

In the Turkish classification system for railway locomotives, the number of powered axles are followed by the total number of axles.

See 0-2-2 and Turkish locomotive classification

UIC classification of locomotive axle arrangements

The UIC classification of locomotive axle arrangements, sometimes known as the German classificationThe Railway Data File.

Wheel arrangement

In rail transport, a wheel arrangement or wheel configuration is a system of classifying the way in which wheels are distributed under a locomotive.

See 0-2-2 and Wheel arrangement

Whyte notation

The Whyte notation is a classification method for steam locomotives, and some internal combustion locomotives and electric locomotives, by wheel arrangement.

See 0-2-2 and Whyte notation

Yaw (rotation)

A yaw rotation is a movement around the yaw axis of a rigid body that changes the direction it is pointing, to the left or right of its direction of motion.

See 0-2-2 and Yaw (rotation)
