They call it "maintenance-tolerant" over there, as a sort of Newspeak.Even though four-cylinder compound steamers do have the best driving wheel balance out of all spoke-drivered steamers, they still have too high of a maintenance cost, especially with the bigger size of the low-pressure cylinders. That's why boxpok drivers and steam superheating are superior. |
