Data provided by Carlos Alberto Fern+ndez Priotti in Bryan Attewell ([] Steam Locomotive simulator program (April 2000). Works number were 3216, 3221-3230 in 1889, 3447-3256, 3259-3301 in 1890
Tenders seem large for a narrow-gauge line. These were among the first Ten-wheelers a British firm produced for anybody. A limited Locobase sample of metre-gauge Argentine and Brazilian 4-6-0s produced in this period show the limited axle loading that constrained their size and power.

Follow-ons for the C22s (Locobase 3708) with superheat and piston valves. The large tender rode on two bogie trucks and sported wood racks nearly as tall as the stack.
