Data from narrowmind.railfan.net, supplemented and amended by DeGolyer, Vol 79, pp. 244+. Works number was 60366 in January 1928.
Outside valves and cylinders used a Walschaerts valve gear, straight stack on this small Pacific. The impressive direct heating surface area included 8 sq ft (0.75 sq m) of arch tubes and 19 sq ft (1.75 sq m) in the combustion chamber. Even for this narrow a gauge, the 6" (152 mm) diameter of the piston valves seems small. Itaqui is in the southeastern part of Brazil, near Paraguay and this railway offered relatively generous curve radii of 80 metres (262 feet) and maximum grades of 2%.
