Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 1 (Locobase 13365)

Data from the PLM Wiki vault crammed with data and plans at [].

These locomotives renumbered several times and received a new boiler with slightly larger dimensions; the data from that version appears in the specifications. The 5 698 was withdrawn from service in 1908 and 5 699-5 700 in 1909.
