Talk:Sans Pareil

I would suggest that the high fuel consumption was largely due to the cracked cylinder leaking steam, obliging the driver to open the regulator more to get minimum power. I don't agree either that Hackworth's design was " antiquated", the return tube boiler by the standards of the day was pretty efficient. Stephensons were pretty worried by the competition from this locomotive built on a shoestring at Hackworth's personal expense. Stephensons cast the cylinders and did a pretty crap job by all accounts. --John of Paris (talk) 14:35, 12 February 2008 (UTC).

Build date 1815
That thing was build in 1815 and took part in the 1829 Rainhill Trials? WTF?!? --Panzerlad (talk) 19:28, 28 August 2012 (UTC)


 * That date is obviously impossible. I've removed it. --Colin Douglas Howell (talk) 19:12, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
