In 1893 he invented an effective starting system for compound locomotives.

From 1876, compound locomotives came on the scene, which used the engine's steam twice.

It was also a four-cylinder compound locomotive, of which fourteen were built.

The Class 02 four-cylinder compound locomotive version was less successful, being costly to maintain.

There were many compound locomotives especially where long periods of continuous efforts were needed.

Under his leadership compound locomotives and rack railway engines were procured for the first time.

They were four cylinder compound locomotives with two of the cylinders working the pinion wheels.

A summary of British compound locomotives based on Smith's system is given here:

In a compound locomotive, steam is expanded in phases.

They were four-cylinder compound locomotives of the Von Borries type.

At the turn of the 20th century various compound locomotives were tried, particularly of the Vauclain and tandem patterns.

They were Rio Grande's last purchase of compound locomotives.

During the 1890s the company was particularly noted for its fast and efficient compound locomotives designed by Alfred de Glehn.

The tandem compound locomotive first appeared on the American Erie Railroad in 1867.

It was a Vauclain compound locomotive.

This arrangement was sometimes used on three-cylinder compound locomotives which used the outside (low pressure) cylinders for starting.

The V class was the first three-cyclinder compound locomotives anynwhere in Ireland.

They were Webb's first large-scale experiment with a class of express compound locomotives, and the first engine was named accordingly.

They were Vauclain compound locomotives.

Originally 30 were built, but later 171 Class C Compound locomotives were converted to simple operation.

Today duplex locomotives are described as compound locomotives.

The class U was a 4-6-0 four-cylinder compound locomotive which used de Glehn compound system.

In situations where heavy grades and low axle loads were combined, the ordinary compound locomotive was often deemed to be the most viable solution.

All were Maffei-built four-cylinder compound locomotives.
