During the year 1895 two new classesof passenger locomotives have been in-troduced on the Great Western Railway ofEngland. To the first of these types be-longs the Agamemnon, Engine , a photograph of which is here will be seen from the illustration, it .\verage trainload, 200 tons. Engine No. 7, the Armstrong, be-longs to the second type. It is a 4-coupledbogie express passenger engine, for work-ing the fast but heavier tratTic on theharder portions of the line. The mainfeatures of the construction are the sameas those of Engine No. 3032. already de-scribed, except that cylinders are 20 x 26inches and the 4-coupled wheels are 7 feet. THE AOAMEMNON--GREAT WESTERN. running at about fifty-one and a half totiity-three and a half miles per hour. Engine No. 3564 is Mr. Deans latestdesign for a metropolitan engine to workon the Underground System. The lead-ing wheels are given a slight amount ofplay, to facilitate the passage of the engineround curves. The engine is fitted withcondensing arrangements for condensingthe waste steam from the engine. Engine No. 867 is a standard G. W. or switching engine. It is a sad-dle-tank engine and has a small coalbunker. This is a type of engine in greatfavor in England; nearly all lines haveengines of this design for yard work, andtlu-y are found to be much more usefulthan tender engines, as they occupy lessspace. Through the kind permission of Dean, the locomotive superintendentof the line, we are enabled to give the fourillustrations of engines on the G. W. R.,taken by Mr. P.
