GT3 (Gas Turbine 3) was a prototype mainline gas turbine locomotive built in 1961 by English Electric at its Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows to investigate the use of its gas turbines in rail traction applications. It followed 18000 and 18100 as gas turbines 1 and 2.

GT3 was a prototype mainline gas turbine locomotive. It was built in 1961 by English Electric at their Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows to demonstrate its wares to British Railways.

ENGLISH ELECTRIC ‘GT3’ GAS-TURBINE 4-6-0 Historical notes; Originally conceived by English Electric in the immediate post-war period as a means of selling railway companies a modern power plant to replace the boiler on redundant steam loco chassis, ‘GT3’ was a long time in …

In the rush to replace steam during the 1950s and 1960s a number of different propulsion systems were proposed, with gas turbines being the least successful. A number of experimental locomotives were, however, built with one of the shortest lived being English Electric’s GT3, as EVAN GREEN-HUGHES remembers.

2019年11月12日 · GT3 was built as a demonstrator at EE’s Vulcan Foundry between 1958 and 1961 to a design by J.O.P. Hughes. The unique concept combined a 4-6-0 locomotive chassis similar to a BR Standard 5MT and a tender built to carry kerosene fuel for the gas turbine and the steam heating boiler.

2021年3月1日 · The WR machines were gas turbine-electrics using the gas turbine to power a generator to supply electricit­y to traction motors. GT3 employed a mechanical drive to make more efficient use of the power. When GT3 design began, there were only the handful of LMS and Southern main line diesel-electrics.

2018年6月6日 · With GT3 expected to be ready in early November, BR and EE proposed that it run under its own power to Whitchurch and then conduct light engine and loaded tests between there and Tattenhall Junction and then a 200-mile loaded run that would include testing the steam-heating boiler.

English Electric's own piston-powered products were clearly preferable to British Rail, and the GT3 was but a strange side-note in the development of modern railway locomotives.
