Nimes et Montpellier 2-4-0 Locomotives in France
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class Type 10 (Locobase 20381)
Data from Schneider Catalogue, last accessed 29 May 2018 at [
]. Works numbers were 21-23 in 1844.
This design seems very much a Stephenson longboiler. Its haystack style boiler and tall stack bookended a straight boiler with small dome over the lead axle.
