- Sans Pareil is a steam locomotive built by Timothy Hackworth which took part in the 1829 Rainhill Trials on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, held to select a builder of locomotives. The name is French and means 'peerless' or 'without equal'. While a capable locomotive for the day, its technology was somewhat antiquated compared to George and Robert Stephenson's Rocket, the winner of the Rainhill Trials and the £500 prize money. Instead of the fire tube boiler of Rocket, Sans Pareil had a double return flue. To increase the heating surface area, the two flues were joined by a U shaped tube at the forward end of the boiler; the firebox and chimney were both positioned at the rear same end, one on either side. Sans Pareil had two cylinders, mounted vertically at the opposite end to the chimney, and driving one pair of driving wheels directly - the other pair were driven via connecting rods, in the typical steam locomotive fashion. At the Rainhill Trials, Sans Pareil was excluded from the prize because it was slightly over the maximum permitted weight. Nevertheless, it performed very well but had a strange rolling gait due to its vertical cylinders. The 'blast' from the blastpipe was, in Hackworth's trademark style, very strong, so most of the coke was expelled out of the chimney unburnt; and it was this more than its antiquated design that caused its abysmal fuel economy. It was pulled out of the competition because of a cracked cylinder: the design thickness for the cylinder walls was some 1+3⁄4 inches (44 mm), but at the point of failure, it was found to be a mere 5⁄8 inch (16 mm). Hackworth's supporters cried 'foul!', but as he had had over twenty cylinders cast, choosing the best two for the locomotive, skulduggery on the part of the Stephensons whose firm cast the cylinders, and who were direct competitors at Rainhill, is unlikely. After the trials, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway bought Sans Pareil as well as Rocket. It was subsequently leased to the Bolton and Leigh Railway where it ran until 1844. It was then used by John Hargreaves as a stationary boiler at the Coppull Colliery, Chorley until 1863. Thereafter, Sans Pareil was restored and presented to the Patent Office Museum (which later became the Science Museum) in 1864 by John Hick. The engine now resides at the Shildon Locomotion Museum on static display. (en)
- La locomotiva Sans Pareil è stata una locomotiva a vapore sperimentale. Fu costruita da per il "Rainhill Trials", concorso indetto per la gara d'appalto della ferrovia tra Liverpool e Manchester, nell'ottobre 1829. Il concorso prevedeva il traino di un peso di 18 t per 70 miglia ad almeno 10 miglia/ora. I concorrenti furono 5: , , Novelty, Rocket, e la Sans Pareil. Aveva due cilindri di 178 x 483 mm; la sua velocità massima era di 30 km/ora. La gara per il concorso fu caratterizzata da una serie di guasti ed essa non vinse, fermandosi al miglio 36. Montava ruote in legno con mozzo di ghisa, ed era priva di sospensioni. (it)
- De Sans Pareil is een stoomlocomotief, die werd gebouwd door Timothy Hackworth. De Sans Pareil nam in 1829 deel aan Rainhill Trials op de Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Deze trials werden gehouden om een bouwer van de benodigde stoomlocomotieven te selecteren. De naam van de locomotief komt uit het Frans en betekent vrij vertaald, 'Zonder vergelijking'. (nl)
