	Lima Locomotive Works
		The Lima Locomotive Works played a large part in Lima's history and is remembered fondly by many of her citizens.
		The period of high profits and expansion did not last for the Lima Locomotive Works, in 1912 when the loco plant was in need of cash for expansion projects many of the side ventures begun before had to be sold off to help pay for improvements.
		While locomotives are no longer made in Lima fans of steam locomotives and those who remember the days when steam power allowed this country to function will remember the Lima Locomotive Works and what was accomplished there.

		ilgrim Locomotive Works was established in December 2000 by Barry Reeves with the intention of building diesel-electric locomotives for 16mm and G scale garden railways.
		When garden railway people talk of diesel locomotives they have invariably described models of diesel powered locomotives which are in fact powered either by an on board battery or by collecting power through the wheels from the track.
		Pilgrim Locomotive Works have changed this because we build diesel-electric locomotives which are what they claim to be: model locomotives powered by an internal-combustion engine driving a generator which produces electricity to drive the traction motors.

		The sight of a locomotive steaming in and out of a railway station, ejecting puffs of smoke into the air in a rhythmic pattern, never fails to fascinate.
		During this period, the steam locomotives were being replaced the world over by diesel and electric locos and in India too, manufacture of diesel and electric locomotives was started.
		The Indian Railways have a fleet of 8682 steam locomotives, 1702 diesel locomotives and 729 electric locomotives.

	Howstuffworks "How Diesel Locomotives Work"
		It combines some great mechanical technology, including a huge, 12-cylinder, two-stroke diesel engine, with some heavy duty electric motors and generators, throwing in a little bit of computer technology for good measure.
		The diesel engine makes 3,200 horsepower, and the generator can turn this into almost 4,700 amps of electrical current.
		This combination of diesel engine and electric generators and motors makes the locomotive a hybrid vehicle.

		The principal difference is that the High-speed Diesel runs faster than the Slow-speed Diesel, and they both run faster than the No-speed Diesel.
		Anyway, getting back to the horse, it would be very hard to find one that wouldn't be scared by the faces of the EMD men around, and he would probably end up by kicking the nose of the unit in and going home.
		Of all the power generated, some goes to work, some goes to friction, some goes to heat, and the rest goes to hell, which is all that you could expect under the circumstances.

	Howstuffworks "How Diesel Two-Stroke Engines Work"
		It turns out that the diesel approach, which compresses only air and then injects the fuel directly into the compressed air, is a much better match with the two-stroke cycle.
		Diesel fuel is sprayed into the cylinder by the injector and immediately ignites because of the heat and pressure inside the cylinder.
		On the other hand, a diesel two-stroke engine must have a turbocharger or a supercharger, and this means that you will never find a diesel two-stroke on a chain saw -- it would simply be too expensive.

	Steam Locomotive Builders
		American Locomotive Company (ALCO) was formed in 1901 when seven smaller locomotive builders merged with the Schenectady Locomotive Works (Schenectady, NY) in order to compete against the largest locomotive builder of the day, the Baldwin Locomotive Works.
		The American Locomotive Company was known for its steam locomotives of which the 4-6-4 Hudsons and the 4-8-4 Niagras built for the New York Central and the 4-6-6-4 Challengers and the 4-8-8-4 Big Boys it built for the Union Pacific were its finiest examples.
		William Woodard of Lima Locomotive Works experimented in increasing the grate area to greatly increase the steaming ability of the locomotive.

		geared locomotives were the "4 wheel drive" versions of their cousins, the "rod" locomotives.
		The geared locomotives were lighter, smaller, and had geared transmissions to provide steady, constant power to all wheels or drivers (as they are known in the railroad world).
		Unlike passengers or freight transported on the mainline railroads serviced by the "rod" locomotives, the logs and rocks didn't care how bumpy or uncomfortable the ride was.
