Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 211 (Locobase 7390)

Data from Titre Exposition universelle internationale de 1878 a Paris. Rapports du jury internationale..Volume Groupe VI - Classe 64. Rapport sur le materiel des chemins de fer. p. 55 (cnum.cnam.fr/CGI/fpage.cgi?8XAE277-11.1/54/100/312/0/0 (accessed 1 September 2005) table and page 91. Works numbers were 1920-1926 in 1875.

This tiny little tank was offered for "travaux agricole", agricultural work on a 31 1/2"-gauge railway. The only Cail 0-4-0Ts on the production list are the seven shown in 1875.
