Born et Marensin 0-6-0 Locomotives in France


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 21 (Locobase 8002)

Data from [link] (accessed 5 December 2006).

This was a pretty substantial design for a secondary-line tank, showing a high boiler pressure, Serve internally finned tubes, piston valves, and a Belpaire firebox. The railway name included several extensions of CFIL lines near the coast (see Locobase 8001). The B et M later joined the CFIL under the banner of the Voies FerrTes des Landes.
