Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 1 (Locobase 10850)

Data from JP Crozet's Franco-Ethiopian Railway site, [link], last accessed on 21 February 2009. Works numbers 34-37, 44-45, and 47-49.

Identical to four tank engines exported to Ethiopia in the same period (Locobase 9976), this set of nine engines was built in two batches. Four preceded the Ethiopian locomotives and five came after.
