Data from the 1924 TH & B Locomotive Diagram book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive Rail Data Exchange. Works numbers were 47665, 48836-48837 in 1910, 50741-50742 and 51512-51513 in 1912.
Firebox heating surface area included 26.7 sq ft (2.5 sq m) in four arch tubes. Piston valve diameter was 14" (356 mm).
101 was scrapped in 1945 and 104-106 were scrapped in 1950. 102 was sold to Stelco in Hamilton. 103 was preserved as a display at Gage Park and later moved to Rockton, Ontario's Westfield Heritage Village for restoration. And 107 traveled west to Sasketechewan's Western Mining.
