Class 54 (Locobase 6815)

Data from the table presented on pages 426, 427 of the Groupe VI. - GTnie civil. - Moyens de transport. DeuxiFme partie. Classes 32 (Tome I), part of the series of Rapports du Jury Internationale of the Exposition Unverselle Internationale de 1900 Paris Exposition, hosted on the website of Le Conservatoire numTrique des Arts & MTtiers ([link], Accessed 21 August 2005).

This was Corpet's works #818. The jury noted that the relatively short wheelbase and low-mounted cylinders driving the first axle meant this locomotive was capable only of relatively slow speeds. They also commented: "La bonne execution de cette machine a ete tres appreciee." (The jury liked the quality of manufacture in this engine.)
