Listen "2: Fairlie Good Idea"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we get technical as we look at two different designs of articulated locomotives, the Meyer and the Fairlie.
Why do we need them? What happens when you bend an engine? Why don't we see many of them? Listen in for the answers!
Anorak Rating: 4/5
NOTES:
A small clarification is needed; Decauville subcontracted the building of the first Péchot-Bourdon locos out due to their complexity.
