Ihear she is now in the paint-shop, soI anticipate that ere long she will take her Another point of difference, althoughthe divergence is less widely marked,consists in the fact that whereas Mr.Warsdell employs 1,750 square feet oftotal heating surface with 200 poundssteam pressure, Mr. Dean uses no lessthan 2,400 square feet of heating surfacewith the same pressure and with the sup-plementary advantage of a Belpaire fire-box. This apparently gives an advantagetotlie Great Western engme, but on the cylinders, 10 inches in diameter willi 26-inch piston stroke, are placed outside theframes. This has not been done on the GreatCentral Railway for ninciccn years, theprevious outside cylinder engines beingthe well-known twelve single-driver ex-presses designed and built by the late Mr.Charles Sacre, originally numbered 309and 500-510. These were among the fewof the outside cylinder type ever used on

Inrespect of her sik coupled 80-inch wheels,Mr. Deans engine. No. 100, stands onthe same footing as Mr. WorsdellsNorth Eastern engine, No. 2111, whichalso has 80-inch wheels. But as regardstheir cylinders, there is almost the widestpossible difference. Mr. Worsdells loco-motive has 20-inch cylinders with 26-inchpiston stroke. Mr. Deans has 18-inchcylinders with .lo-inch piston stroke.Here then will be afforded a usefulchance of comparing the two strongly-contrasted methods. other hand the North Eastern engine hasalways seemed to me to possess abund-ance of steam. Yet another British locomotive super-intendent has joined the movement intlie direction of using six-coupled loco-motives for passenger service and eight-coupled for freight work. Mr. J.
