	Tank locomotive - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A tank locomotive (occasionally tank engine) is a steam locomotive that carries its own fuel and water with it, instead of pulling it behind it in a tender.
		A locomotive that hauls its fuel and water behind it in a tender is unable to do this, because the heavy tender is not designed to be pushed and may become unstable at speed.
		The most famous tank locomotive, of course, is the fictional Thomas the Tank Engine, who was actually based on a London, Brighton and South Coast Railway class E2 0-6-0 side tank.

	Steam Locomotive Tenders
		A round tank is lighter than a rectangular tank of the same capacity (partially because a rectangular tank requires a great deal of internal bracing).
		Sometimes the water tank was split in two and were on either side of the boiler.
		Older locomotives were modified during shopping with a small cabin on the top of the tender for the head-end brakeman.

	Tank locomotive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tank locomotive (occasionally tank engine, especially in England, notably used in reference to Thomas the Tank Engine) is a steam locomotive that carries its own fuel and water on it, instead of pulling it behind it in a tender.
		Wing Tanks are side tanks that run the length of the smokebox, instead of the full length of the boiler.
		Tender locomotives generally require turning facilities, such as a turntable or wye, at each end of the run.

	Tender locomotive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Steam locomotives often haul a tender, which is a special railroad car designed to hold the locomotive's fuel (wood, coal, or oil) and water.
		Locomotives that do not have tenders and carry all their fuel and water on board the locomotive itself are called tank locomotives.
		For these reasons, when locomotives cannot easily be turned at the end of their runs, or if the maximum adhesion possible is needed, tank locomotives are preferred.

	Steam locomotive basics - section 3, tank locomotives
		Tank locomotives carry a supply of coal behind the cab in a bunker that often covers a small supplementary water tank.
		As a modification of the saddle tank, pannier tanks locomotives were introduced by the Great Western to permit the use of a Belpaire boiler.
		The express tank was especially subject to this - the disastrous 1927 derailment at Sevenoaks was thought to result from high speed and a bumpy track giving rise to the water in the tanks to surge.

	Tank locomotive - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		This variety of tank, almost exclusively used by the British Great Western Railway, involved box-shaped tanks attached to the sides of the boiler.
		The typical tank engine's tank was designed specifically to contact and be heated by the boiler, so the water is warmer when it is finally injected into the boiler from the tank, allowing it to boil faster.
		As the trains to be hauling are usually light the tank locomotive is more fuel efficient than a large tender locomotive.

	Project 62 Home Page
		The locomotive is now housed at the museum depot of Pont-Erambault and members there are working to restore the locomotive and the original line "Caen Flers" back in service.
		The second locomotive in France of which we have news, is recent import from the Balkans - JZ Class 62 62-046.
		Project 62's involvement in the creation of new USA Class locomotive number 30076 by rebuilding 62-521 is gaining much publicity, especially as it is hoped a measure of disability access will be incorporated into the cab design - hence 0-6-0AET or "Access Enhanced Tank" locomotive.

		The rear frame, on which the tank was carried, was of steel, cast in one piece with the truck center plate, draft gear housing, rear bumper and tank supports.
		However, the locomotive's official records had been destroyed in a roundhouse fire on the Canadian National, and Blount could not document the condition of its flues, so the Interstate Commerce Commission ordered the locomotive retired until it could either be documented or be reflued.
		Furthermore, as this locomotive and sisters of her class predate by the better part of a decade the one American 4-6-4T built in 1922 and the six built in 1923, it seems likely that they influenced the design of the American locomotives.

		After the outer tank is capped and sealed the insulated space between the inner and outer tanks is vacuum pumped to improve the insulating capabilities of the system.

		Boise Locomotive, in conjunction with Caterpillar, has determined that when the LNG engine is running at idle or low throttle positions, the turbo boost pressure is low enough to allow the downward stroke of the piston to create a vacuum in the cylinder.
