Peking-Hankow Beyer-Garratt Locomotives in China


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 3537)

Data from "Locomotive Development in the Far East," Railway Master Mechanic, Volume , No 10 (October 1908), p. 280.

These were virtually identical to du Bousquet-Meyer engines built for the Nord Railway in France in 1905. The boiler used the internally finned Serve tubes

Originally built as a Belgian-French concession, this railway was operated during most of its history by French staff. Their preference for this type of locomotive suggests as much.
