Data from L Chatelier, E Flachat, J Petiet, and C Polonceau, Guide du Mecanicien Constructeur et Conducteur de Machines Locomotives (Paris: Chez Paul Dupont, 1851), pp. 369-370 and tables on 376-387.
As Desormes et Cail hit its stride with its design of singles for French railways, this batch went east to Alsace-Lorraine comprising almost all of the same dimensions as those of the Nord engines shown in Locobase 11341.
