Data from table in 1947 Locomotive Cyclopedia; and Baldwin Locomotive Works Negative 13,111, Class 2-8-2 18 1/2, S 1 supplied in March 2023 in an email from Teemu Koivumaki.. Works numbers 72208-72216 in 1944 and 73076-73078 in 1945.
Built for specific service within a narrow range, this wood-burner class nevertheless had all of the late-steam-era appliances and construction details. It used 10" (254 mm) piston valves to supply steam to the cylinders.
A noteworthy feature of the specs is the suprisingly high boiler pressure on the metre gauge, expecially considering its primary fuel generated so many fewer BTUs per lb than an equivalent coal burner would have. A combustion chamber contributed 48 sq ft (4.46 sq m) to the firebox heating surface area.
766 later was sold to the Tela Railway.
