Chilean State 0-4-0 Locomotives in Chile
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class Tipo-c (Locobase 21022)
Data from "Locomotora Tipo-c Plano General 10,352" from scans supplied by by Señor Raul Moroni of Santiago, archived on [
], last accessed 1 May 2022. See also Martin Coombs, "Chilean Steam Locomotive List - Parte 4", p. 220-222, downloaded from [], last accessed 8 April 2022. Works numbers were 1859-1862 in 1912.
A 1912 request for bids on six Tipo-bs and four Tipp-cs induced replies from Arnold Jung, Berliner Maschinenbau, Borsig, Henschel, Orenstein & Koppel, and American Locomotive Company. Jung won the contract, which was signed on 15 May 1912.
If Tipo-a (Locobase 21020) was small, and Tipo-b tiny, then Tipo-c was minute.
