Britain eyes coal fired gas turbine locomotive trial
Britain plans a coal fired gas turbine locomotive early next year as part of a modernization project by the ministry of fuel and power and two private firms. The pilot aims to rival steam trains in performance and cut coal use, potentially halving coal consumption on the London to Glasgow route. The Newcastle firm develops the turbine with exhaust heat recirculation and a single unit mounted on two six wheeled bodies delivering 1,600 horsepower to four axles.
