Oh Mabel by the goofus five

@@robr3633 yea I call it a combustion chamber it’s a more posh word

@@Trainsimmodeller24 'Combustion chamber' refers to the upper portion of the cylinder of an internal combustion engine. The firebox is never called that.

@@robr3633 really I thought it was the firebox beacuse Combustion refers to fire

@@Trainsimmodeller24 It's called the firebox because it's a box that has fire in it. Nobody knows what you're talking about when you call it a "combustion chamber" because that's not what it's called.

My mistake

@@Connorthedoublelifeengine Shunter productions made a OC named Nigel he was a j50 about 8 years ago the story’s are really good you should check them out

It would actually improve it as cylinders have more efficiency if they are kept warm

@@Trainsimmodeller24 No, the Heat from the Firebox, As well as Ashes and Stuff from it would Wear the Cylinders out Faster, and having Cylinders by the Firebox would Constraint both Cylinder and Firebox size , Don't Believe me? Look at this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Railroad_class_Q1 , the PRR Q1 had two of it's Cylinders Behind the firebox, and Look how Bad that turned out

@@TheSudrianTerrier653 that can sometimes happen but it’s mostly if an engine has a very high heat in its firebox American fireboxes are massive British ones are puny compared to American ones translating to lots more heat

@@TheSudrianTerrier653 anywho no one said it actually worked it was just a concept to try and improve it

@@TheSudrianTerrier653 and it isn’t in the firebox it’s in the Smokebox so it’s alot less warm then the firebox

@@JacETmusic there the only photos I could find of the class of locos that worked there even though they may be models there still representing what they would have looked like
