I understand that welding and bolting have taken over for riveting, but rivets are so much more aesthetically satisfying.

Bolts and welds did not really take the part of riveting, Hukbolts did, they are similar to a rivet but instead of a head being forged by the hammer a collar is swaged over the bolt and a tail part that is only used for the swaging gun to grip snaps off. There are certain applications that can't be welded because they need to "flex" and rivets Hukbolts would allow this better than welding.

I worked in shipyards for years as a welder and I remember thinking that if not for modern welding technology I'd be bashing rivets all day. Hardest job in the yard. The riveters were known for toughness and durability but they also had a very high rate of injury. Working iron is still one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.

Prior to the production in quantity for Bessemer process Steel, Wrought Iron (Bloomery iron) was the only material available for Ship building after wood was set aside. Being laminar in nature, welding of Wrought plate was very difficult as all of the layers had to be evenly, and properly welded. This was time consuming, and expensive. Rivets were the best method to assemble any type of Iron vessel, be it a ships hull, or a boiler tube. Later, after Bessemer Steel was available,Welding was around in its several forms, but was not approved for critical structure construction . Even some of the WW II Liberty Ships which were pretty much the first mass produced welded construction Ships, suffered from failures in their welded construction, some even breaking in two while at Sea. The rivet was not without its problems though, quality of materials was very important as once the rivet was closed (headed) and the Grip established (the Grip is the distance between the two heads) the Rivet was still candescent, and as it cooled, the grip shrank, creating the very tight bond between the plates it held. The problem was if there was an excess of shrinkage, one of the heads may pop off, requiring a replacement. Rivets were not perfect, but they did the job very well, so if it wasn't broken, don't fix it.

If you look at the rivet heads they have a "washer" behind them, this is caused by the rivet being to long or the snap/set is too shallow.

TriggerHappy SJW Welding saves weight, they used that in the NSB type 49s frame, because the Norwegian railway network had a weight limit. The 49 also known as the Dovregubben class ( Dovre giant) was on many areas more advanced than the German locomotives. I know personally that the German stream locomotive engineers at Krupp was very impressed by the type 49's power to weight/axle load ratio. Some of the 49'ers was produced in Norway and some at Krupp in Germany. Sadly the only remaining is was produced by Krupp. It's located at Hamar Railway museum, stored indoors but not in running condition.
