Societe Le Nickel 0-6-0 Locomotives in France
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class unknown (Locobase 15535)
Data from SACM diagram Nr. 91 from Societe Alsacienne de Constructions Mecaniques from locomotive book supplied by Dany Machi up at [
] as
Diagrammes des machines SACM construites a GRAFENSTADEN (October 2007).
Tube diameter is the interior measurement. Essentially identical to the 0-6-0T delivered to the Houllieres de Ste Etienne (Locobase 15533), this small industrial tank went all the way to New Caledonia in the southwest Pacific.
