Broadcasts
Broadcasts about the 5AT and Modern Steam have not been frequent, and the only two that are known are listed here: 19th July 2006 – BBC Radio 4 broadcast a program called “Steam Driven” that can still available on the BBC’s website. The broadcast features the voices of David Wardale, Roger Waller, Shaun McMahon and others expressing their views on […]
Audio Recordings of Modern Steam
15 audio tracks recorded in South Africa in the early 1980s by David Wardale and Nick Bartlett are available on this website. They include several recordings of The Red Devil, including one during which it develops an equivalent drawbar power of around 2,460 kW (3,300 h.p.) while accelerating up a 1% gradient with 1200 tonnes […]
Presentations on Modern Steam
Numerous presentations have been made relating to the 5AT Project. Indeed, they continue to be made even after the project’s suspension, since the project is still of interest and significance to anyone interested in steam traction. Presentations about the 5AT may be found on a separate page in this section. This page provides access to […]

“STEAM” Locomotive Performance Simulation Software
5AT Group member Jamie Keyte is in the process of developing a new steam loco performance simulation package which he has named “STEAM“, standing for “Steam Traction Engineering Analysis Method”. The software is being developed as an MS Excel spreadsheet model which offers the significant advantage over other packages in that it can be interrogated […]
