Articulated Steam Locomotives of the World |

Lionel Wiener published his classic work 'Articulated Locomotives' in 1930, I have a copy of the reprint by Kalmbach Publishing. Much of what appears here is based on the book, it's a vast subject and I have no intention to repeat what is well covered elsewhere on the web. Rather I will try to highlight unusual types, particularly with reference to surviving examples and those which survived into my gricing lifetime (ie the last 40 - 50 years). Anyone with a serious interest in the subject should forget the web and instead consult the bibliography - I would welcome additions to that list. I would also welcome suitable pictures - unless it is of a type which is not illustrated here, by and large, I do not intend to upload archive pictures, I could scan many out of the books but I do not think that is an appropriate thing to do in this case. Previous visitors to this section should note the following additions:
It makes sense to follow Wiener's classification, but that doesn't mean my coverage will be exhaustive too. True Articulated Locomotives
Semi-articulated Locomotives
Temporarily Articulated Locomotives or Locomotives with Auxiliary Engines Utilisation of the tender's weight for propulsion

Bibliography, I doubt many of these books are still 'in print', please let me know of any more suitable titles to list:
