Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 288 (Locobase 11300)

Data from August Perdonnet et Camille Polonceau, Nouveau Portefeuille de L'Ingenieur des Chemins de Fer, Tome Second (Paris: Librairie Scientifique, Industrielle et Agricole, 1866), pp. 525.

See also Locobase 621, which has somewhat different data from an earlier Perdonnet work. Locobase 11299 shows this batch in its original configuration; this entry had a larger grate and firebox as well as more tubes in the boiler.
