Data from "Central Argentine Type 4.6.0", Locomotives Constructed by Kitson & Co,. Ltd (Leeds: n.d.).. Works numbers were 3697-3700, 3727-3743 in 1897.
This was one of the smallest Ten-wheeler designs for the standard gauge and larger that entered service during the mid-1890s. Only the relatively tall drivers placed it in the top third of those available in Locobase.
