Excerpt from The Hydraulic Railway: Being a Carefully Digested but Plain Statement of the Advantages to Be Derived, and Impediments Removed, in Establishing Hydraulic Propulsion, on RailwaysThe references however are more numerous than I anticipated on a subject so sinsple; but my first surprise at this was removed, when I considered what number of references would be requisite to describe the whole machinery of a locomotive, and what greater number must be added, if, not a locomotive only, but also a large portion of the whole working system of railway were, according to its present arrangemmt, and for the first time, to be brought before the public.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Hydraulic Railway: Being a Carefully Digested, but Plain Statement the Advantages to Be Derived, and Impediments Removed, in Establishing Hydraulic Propulsion, on RailwaysThere are two ways of writing a book; one is by putting a colouring, as it is termed, on the subject of it, and veiling or distracting attention from its least promising features; the other is by meeting the question fairly and at once, in its most unfavourable aspect; with the assurance that if this is successfully encountered, the question will gain strength from the investigation, in the exact ratio in which seeming obstacles in the way of its advantages, have been removed. I have preferred the latter mode. I do not wish to give others the trouble of pulling this pamphlet to pieces. This may often be done in the spirit of perfect honesty and to demonstrate the truth; and, when so undertaken, the dissection of a publication - for it is no longer a mere pulling to pieces - is not the less severe because the operation is performed with urbanity; indeed, when strict and not unfriendly truth is the dissecting instrument, and the sub ject-matter is diseased, the cut is frequently deepest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

When British Railways initiated its Modernisation Plan in 1955, its Western Region elected to trial locomotive designs with hydraulic transmission whilst BR encouraged designs with electric transmission. The Western Region felt that the lighter weight of 78 tons for a diesel hydraulic locomotive producing 2000 hp, compared to an equivalent weight of 132 tons for a diesel electric locomotive producing 2000 hp, would better meet BR’s requirement for a modern locomotive. BR’s failure to follow up with its declared policy of having all freight vehicles fitted with brakes saw operators preferring the heavier diesel electric designs which proved more able to operate trains without through brakes at higher speed. The greatest concern was with operating costs whereby the Western Region policy of replacing components at the depot then transferring them to Swindon for repair incurred heavy costs that were reflected in the maintenance cost per locomotive. Given the smaller number of diesel hydraulic locomotives and the larger number of diesel electric locomotives it was little surprise that by the mid-1960s a cost comparison showed that the build and operation of diesel electric locomotives was increasingly cheaper over the long term. Furthermore the increased availability of diesel electric locomotives released by a combination of factors provided an opportunity to replace the diesel hydraulic fleet, which was withdrawn from service during the 1970s. The preservation of redundant locomotives was slow but once it was confirmed, by the preservation of ‘Hymek’ Class 35 D7017 in 1975, that public appeals could quickly fund the preservation of withdrawn examples further public appeals followed. In a short space of time 31 locomotives from a mixed fleet of 358 locomotives entered preservation to remind both enthusiasts and the public of a concept (i.e. hydraulic transmission) that had had much to offer but had been dismissed on questionable financial grounds.
