I wonder if this is how the Pennsylvania Rail Road's S2 class sounded. There is only one known video of it, and video recorders didn't have sound back then.

I bet there are less people in the world who know how to drive this type of train than there are astronauts in (and off) the world.

The driver was called ''Nora Eriksson'' and was the only driver TGOJ (the Railway owner) who was trained to drive these locos

How did this turbine locomotive get into preservation?

Actually, all three built (between 1930 and 1936) still exist, although as far as I know, none of them are currently serviceable. The engines were kept as part of the 'strategic reserve' after the lines had been electrified, that is how they survived up to our time.

@@PerCPH2200 But why them? Turbine steamers were horrendously expensive and inefficient, and yet these 3 are not only preserved, but are on "strategic reserve"

One of the reasons is one the other steam turbines in the past were built with condenser’s and vacuum which cause those designs to be very expensive and faulty however these locomotives were built without a condenser and were designed by Frederik ljunström who was an expert when it came to building steam turbines for power plants, ships, and locomotives

@@zangryomani1257 The UK one was more efficient to operate than a cylinder loco. Maintenance was more expensive because it was non-standard, requiring specialist knowledge & maintenance. Once cylinder steam locos also became non-standard, having a turbine was less relevant. Reply

@@zangryomani1257The man who invented these was hailed for making them horrendously efficient. They had 35% coal savings from conventional steam engines already in the first model, and reused steam so they could go further without refilling water. All while being one of the strongest steam locomotives produced in Sweden, hence why the remaining ones are from the well known mining and transport company, like the one in this video. Sweden fully electrified its rail network very early on and retained steam trains to be preserved in case of war and loss of electrical power.

The aux motor is a traditional steam motor. It's basically what you hear. Doing the stoking, electricity, water Vacuum and other stuff.

Rare to hear and see a steam turbine locomotive in action. Lots of interest in past steam turbine locomotives lately. However this great coverage will be hard to find without the words steam turbine locomotive in the title. Very few are familiar enough with Swedish locomotive class letter systems to identify the steam turbine ones they may be searching for.

Quite fascinating really, I suppose this is what the Princess and possibly the SAR condenser locos would have sounded like? Civil engineers must have been in favour?

I think one of the three is supposed to currently be in, or will soon be restored to, operating condition now.
