Unspecified 0-4-0 Locomotives in Belgium
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class 32 (Locobase 7393)
Data from Titre Exposition universelle internationale de 1878 a Paris. Rapports du jury internationale..Volume Groupe VI - Classe 64. Rapport sur le materiel des chemins de fer. p. 55 (cnum.cnam.fr/CGI/fpage.cgi?8XAE277-11.1/54/100/312/0/0 (accessed 1 September 2005) table.
Small industrial tank shown by its builder. Among the narrowest-gauge engines in Locobase.
Class IV (Locobase 6205)
Data from [
] (5 July 2004). A tiny tram locomotive with a vertical boiler completely enclosed by a square cab. The frame has buffers on each end. Operated in 2004 by Friends of Belgian Locomotives after decades of service.
Another example -- Cockerill 1625 -- was built in 1890 as a Class V but with identical specifications. In 2004, it was operating on the Middleton Railway. (The railway's website explains that "Having been established by an Act of Parliament in 1758, the Middleton Railway, Leeds, can claim to be the oldest Railway in the world. It also played host to the first commercially successful, revenue earning, steam locomotives which entered service there in 1812.")
A later variant -- the IVR -- had a boiler pressed to 12 bar and different weights, but the same boiler. Luxemburg's Association des MusTe et Tourisme Ferroviaires a.s.b.lwas credited with one of these as well.
