Peking Hankow


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 20074)

Data from Charles S Lake, "Locomotive Notes-Locomotive Building in Belgium', The Model Engineer,Volume 15,No 282 (20 September 1906), p. 273.

Lake commented that the engines usually pulled passenger trains, "but they are also used as occasion demands for hauling goods and 'mixed' trains."
