Pingsiang-Siangtau 2-6-0 Locomotives in China


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 20333)

Data from "Goods Locomotive, Pingsiang-Singtau Railway" Locomotive Magazine, Vol XX [20] (15 January 1914), p. 4.

LM reported that this batch's desing was "basically the same" as the Moguls built by Hohenzollern for the Prussian State Railways. Two differences were the use of the Janney coupling gear and a tender mounted on bogies.
