Data from narrowmind.railfan.net (revisited 20 February 2003) reproduction of extensive table. See also Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 44, p. 28. (Thanks to Teemu Koivumaki for his 6 July 2020 email correcting the road number on this Baldwin product.) Works number was 53133 in March 1913.
The Paulista advised Eddystone that "particular attention" should be paid to "design, material, and workmanship as engine is to work in direct competition as similar engine [road number 90, later 770] ordered at the same time from the American Locomotive Company."
Consolidation Mallet with a large boiler over relatively small driving wheel sets. Combustion chamber contributed 47 sq ft (4.37 sq m) to the direct heating surface area.
(Baldwin's specification doesn't say, but it appears its evaporative heating surface area--2,265 sq ft/210.42 sq m--was measured using the inside (fire side) tube and flue diameters. The result was 8% less than Locobase's specification, which uses the external diameters given in the specs.)
The two high-pressure cylinders used 10" (254 mm) piston valves to send steam to the cylinders. The two LP cylinders had Baldwin double-ported slide valves.
The Baldwin specs describe the right of way with great precision. Rail weight was 25 kg/metre (50 lb/yard), tie spacing came to 1,600 per km (2,576 per mile), curve radii down to 150 metres (492 ft). The Hassler speed recorder supplied with the engine was set for a maximum speed of 30 kph (19 mph).
Hitherto unsuspected limitation: "number of curves on which train can be running at any one time - 3". And a "Hereafter" note in the specs revealed yet another limitation. A 30 September 1913 letter from F W Degers "stated that engine and truck spring links were lengthened 2" [50.8 mm] as originally made caught on crosstie."
