How do camelback steam locomotives work?
I never quite understood how they operated and what was their purpose? (switching? commuter service? etc.) If you can give me a site with more info, please do!
Now, how exactly were they fired? Thats more what I mean when I said “how are they operated?”. Thank you for the info!

How does a clutch on a steam engine work (Tractor/train/car)?
How does a clutch on a steam engine work. I am looking for a 10.0 ratio 1 speed transmission with a clutch so it will disengage at slow or stopped speeds.
Thank you
I actually had that I can not use a centrifugal clutch due to the slow speed of the engine in the original question but took it out. It will be running 10 rpm max (20 strokes per minute) 3 strokes a second. But will produce over 5 tons of power. What I need to know is what they use in a steam engine as a clutch to harness the massive amount of power. I can use a Eaton Fuller (semi) transmission that will provide the ratio and holding power(it should if only used in 1st and reverse..should) but want to look into what trains used as a more reliable option.
I meant 1 stroke (12″) every 3 seconds but you get the idea slow
