Enterriano / FCER 2-6-0 Locomotives in Argentina


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class E (Locobase 3725)

Data provided by Carlos Alberto Fern_ndez Priotti in Bryan Attewell ([link] Steam Locomotive simulator program (April 2000).

Relatively small Moguls for the standard gauge, supplied in two batches in 1886 and 1894. According to Fernandez's comments on [link] (August 2002), there were two very similar classes -- D with 6-wheel tenders and E with two-bogie (4-axle) tenders.
