Summary
editDescriptionGas Turbine prototype No.18000.jpg |
English: Preserved GWR/BR(W)/Brown Boveri 2,500 hp A1A-A1A Gas Turbine prototype No.18000 in 1949 BR black & silver livery at The Railway Age, Crewe, 03/00. Scanned photograph taken with a Miranda MS-1N. As in so many things, the GWR did things diferently when contemplating a replacement for steam in the immediate post-war years. Whereas the LMS and SR went for diesel electric, and the LNER and SR went for electric locomotives, the GWR decided to go for gas-turbine power. 18000 was the first of two prototypes, neither being delivered until after Nationalisation. The second prototype was Metro-Vick built and of a different design. Neither showed GT power to be the answer to repace steam! |
